Meet Sasha, a one-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix who is so incredibly sweet she probably should have been named "Sugar." This gentle "wiggle butt" originally came to us from Animal Control and is still searching for that perfect match. Sasha is looking for a "furever" family that truly understands the heart of a young dog-one who recognizes that she isn't just a pet, but a partner who craves mental stimulus, physical enrichment, and lots of love.

Sasha is a top-tier cuddlebug who loves to lean her whole weight into you for a hug, making her a star Doggy Date candidate. She is a dream on a leash, knows her basic commands, and is likely house-trained. When she's not busy being a lap dog, she's a total toy enthusiast-whether it's a durable hard toy, a fuzzy soft friend, or a classic tennis ball, she is highly toy-motivated and ready to play. If you have the time to keep her smart mind busy and her heart full of affection, Sasha will reward you with a lifetime of sweetness.
