Sasha - Alaskan Malamute and Husky Dog Available for Adoption in Clarksville, Tennessee

Meet Sasha girl! Her heterochromia is only one of her great features! She is a wonderful 40lb snuggler and an expert nap taker. She definitely enjoys a more leisurely pace in life and likes to take her daily activities slowly. She has done good with cats and dogs. She’s currently in a foster home with both! She can be in a home with children; however, they need to be respectful of Sasha and treat her like family member, not a toy. She is around 10 years old and deserves to live out her golden years in a calm, safe, and loving home.

Sasha’s ideal home would be one with minimal stairs so as to compliment her arthritis needs. She does take joint supplements currently and will need to continue to do so. She will need the occasional “doggie aspirin” as well to aid her aging joints. That being said, she does like walks! She does well on a leash and would prefer a stroll to a hike. She enjoys laying in the grass and soaking up the sun. She’s very good at sniffing out the perfect snooze spot and calling it a day.

Her foster mom considers her potty trained and house trained. She is familiar with a kennel, but we wouldn’t say its her preferred spot. She does like to sleep alongside or near her person/people, so you will always have a mobile pillow! It has been noted that she sleeps through the night when close to her human! Sasha has a very gentle demeanor and can spend most of her time relaxing. But she does get little spurts of energy and becomes playful! Even though she is a senior, she wants to stay young, so she also enjoys challenging and enriching her brain with games, puzzles, and toys.

Does Sasha sound like your kind of gal? Want to meet her? Fill out an application today and start living your life with a best FURend at your side!
