| 06/08/2025 FROM FOSTER: Sasha is doing great! She likes to play with my big and small dogs and gets along well with everyone. She seems to be afraid of men, and also unexpected loud sounds. She is timid but loving! She would be great for someone who loves clingy dogs, as she loves being close to her person and follows me everywhere and loves lots of petting! She likes to play, but it’s gotten hot outside so she does her business and then walks back in the house. She enjoys playing wrestle with my maltipoo and would do well with a small dog home! She also likes looking out the front windows to see what’s going on in the cul de sac, she is very protective and starts barking when the Fed Ex / UPS delivery drivers come around. |
| 05/29/2025 Sasha did so good for her first night in foster! She is a TOTAL cuddle bug!! She loves sitting next to me on the couch, and if I stop petting her, she takes her paw and swoops up my arm to place my hand back on her. ?? It’s so cute!! I also think she is potty trained, as she hasn’t had any accidents in the house. This morning I took her outside in the backyard for potty and then she got the zoomies and started running all over the grass area! She has a lot more energy today, and is very playful! I’m also glad we took the dog bed, because she’s made that her little hangout spot. She even collected 2 stuffed animals from downstairs and brought them upstairs to her bed. |
