My name is Sahara!

Animal Profile: Sahara is an estimated 3 year old 45 lb female pitbull terrier mix who will be joining us along with her 4 babies from San Joaquin California.  These dogs have been held in outdoor kennels at a Waste Treatment Facility in San Joaquin Valley. Temperatures are now over 100 degrees and these dogs sit and wait for help to arrive. This “shelter” has no website, no adoptions, and no resources. We were asked to help so they will be joining us on June 16th. We will share more info as we get to know them in foster care. 

Foster Update:  Sahara has become a really easy dog, she’s got a great off switch in the house, is generally is up for any adventure but also kind of lazy. Overall she’s pretty go with the flow. She gets along great with my dog now and respects her boundaries. She is awesome in a crate, and if she needs to go outside will make a distinct sound for it. She can get a bit rankled when she’s barked at by strange dogs while out on walks, but it’s not hard to snap her out of it. She knows all the basic commands, sit, come, leave it, etc. Sahara will be an awesome, easy going girl for one lucky family!
