Meet Shasta, a 25 lb., 4 year-old shepherd mix who came to Saving Grace in early April after news broke of a hoarding case in a nearby rural county.
You will love Shasta if you:
- Want a new best friend for you current dog
- Are ready to adopt a dog with the kindest soul and biggest heart
- Can be inspired by a dog who has been through challenges & has overcome them
- Will appreciate a dog who is shy, but given some time loves everyone she meets
If so, then Shasta is for you! She’s looking for an owner who will cherish every tiny step forward and enjoy every part of her journey!
We are looking for a home that will enjoy showing her what the life of a loved pet is like, someone who is willing to be patient and allow her time to adjust so that her sweet soul will shine! Most of all she needs patience and love, with big celebrations for all the accomplishments she will achieve!
