Sasha is an adorable dog with a big heart, but she needs a very specific environment to thrive. Since a baby arrived in the home, Sasha has been very anxious and stressed. She is not aggressive, but she cries a lot and is constantly nervous. Young children are therefore not recommended.
Socially, Sasha has made great progress since 2023: she is now friends with the family cat and loves interacting with other animals. She would be very happy in an active household, with other dogs or cats (but not small dogs).
Sasha can react to people moving quickly, such as on skateboards, scooters, or rollerblades. Bikes and running on leash are perfect for her, and she loves those activities. She needs distance and supervision around anything that moves quickly toward her.
She suffers from generalized anxiety and is very sensitive to noises: leaf blowers, lawn mowers, ice machines, or even the beep of a smoke detector can put her on alert. She needs stimulation, predictability, and a calm routine to feel comfortable.
Despite this, Sasha is extremely affectionate and gentle at home. She greets visitors with a toy and lots of kindness. She also loves to run, play, and explore safely.
Sasha is a one-of-a-kind dog looking for patient, loving, and active adopters who can provide her with the security, stimulation, and love she needs to be happy.
