Sashimi looks like the beloved side-kick dog in a whimsical, cozy kids book. Between her soft expression and those perfectly folded forward ears that sit in literal dog-eared perfection, she is ridiculously endearing! She is estimated to be around 2 years old, weighs 49 lbs. and appears to be some sort of shepherd mix, though rescue rules apply and breed is simply our best guess.
Go watch Sashimi on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this tenderhearted little sidekick.

Sashimi is fostered in a loving home while she waits for her forever family and her foster mom shared that one of her favorite things about her wonderful insight about this girl. Her fosters favorite thing about her is how warm and genuinely grateful she is, and how it comes through so consistently in the small moments. She has the sweetest habit of gently reaching out with her paw for attention, not demandingly, not dramatically, just a soft little excuse me, I love you. It perfectly matches her personality because despite being affectionate and connected to her people, she is never overly pushy or insistent. Her foster also shared that she has settled beautifully into daily life, rides wonderfully in the car, loads up easily on her own, then calmly relaxes for the trip like a seasoned little road trip companion. She is also a regular at doggie daycare and genuinely enjoys being around other dogs, especially playful ones who appreciate her active, social playstyle. This is a girl who will thrive with canine companionship. Her play style is rough-and-tumble and vocal, so she will be happiest with dogs that enjoy rowdy play and are confident enough to match her energy without being overwhelmed by it.
She has a medium-high energy level overall and would love an active home that includes her in life rather than expecting her to simply decorate the couch all day. That said, she also showed a lovely ability to settle indoors, relax on the couch, and just quietly exist near her people after activity.
As for cats, Sashimi has shown that she can coexist successfully with them, but she is not a ignore the cat completely kind of dog. She tends to be curious, playful, and a little too social to live with a cat who absolutely hates dogs. She has no intention of harming cats, but because she likes to engage with them, she would do best with confident, dog-savvy cats who have space to escape the playfulness when needed. Having another playful dog in the home also helps appropriately redirect some of her social energy away from the cats. In her foster home, management and slow introductions have been important pieces of her success.
Sashimi would thrive with adopters who appreciate smart dogs and are willing to continue helping her build confidence through structure, positive experiences, and continued leash work. She is the kind of dog who bonds hard once she trusts you, and when she does, you get this incredibly loyal, emotionally connected companion with the cutest folded ears you have ever seen bobbing toward you for affection.
Under those adorable dog ears and soft eyes is an incredibly affectionate, people-oriented dog who wants connection the most. Once she settles into a family and home, she is playful, cuddly, goofy, and wonderfully engaging.
A perfect dog in our book!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2-acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dogs growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
