Sasha - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Sasha A187120
88 lb. spayed female, approx 5 years old

Big, beautiful gal with the sweetest little nubby tail! 💕

-This gorgeous girl has come such a long way. She came in fearful, but today when I approached, she greeted me with the cutest little tail wiggles! She leashed easily and came out nicely, then walked beautifully on leash with little to no pulling.

-Outside, she took some time to explore and check things out before eventually deciding that sitting quietly near my feet was the perfect place to be. She has lovely manners, isn't jumpy, and is an easygoing companion.

-She's treat motivated, knows how to sit, and takes treats decently. She can even catch them! She briefly played with a stuffie, although she quickly decided exploring and hanging out were more her speed.

-She's friendly and affectionate without being needy. She has a nice independent streak and seems perfectly content doing her own thing before coming over to check in. A beautiful girl with a gentle, easygoing personality who would make a wonderful companion.

-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
