Sasha is a 2-year-old hound mix who loves to snuggle and go for walks. She’s a very loving dog – unless you are a cat, small dog or little critter; she doesn’t do so well with those. But she loves people!

With bigger dogs, Sasha may try to be a bully until she’s put in her place. After that, she can be best buddies with big dogs – lots of playing and wrestling. Because she’s a hound dog, she can be a bit stubborn, so her foster mother makes sure she knows who’s boss.

Despite the stubborn streak, Sasha is very sweet and easy to fall for. Sasha is playful, snuggly, house-trained, crate-trained and pretty good on a leash. She sleeps outside a crate at night with no issues, but stays in a crate during the day when her foster mom is at work, keeping satisfied with a peanut butter-filled Kong and a movie to watch.

Sasha is up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives, and has been spayed and microchipped. She’s just waiting for the right owner to love her!
