Meet Sasha

 

 

Update from Temporary foster

Sasha is a little shy at first but once she feels comfortable with you, she is your best friend.  She is unbelievably smart, seems to understand a lot of things I tell her.  She gets along great with other dogs, tends to be submissive, so this would work well if you will be integrating her with other dogs.  She's very curious about cats, but once my cat hissed at her, she backed off and acts like the cat isn't even there (except occasionally goes back to see if the cat will be friendly). 

Sasha is energetic and loves to run; could use a daily walk or run in a fenced area. She actually loves to be held, but you would think she doesn't because when you go to pick her up, she kicks her back feet out.  But once she's in your arms, she just sits there and loves it.  She is just a big snuggle bunny, very loving and smart. 

Sasha will stand on her back legs and hold out her arms to you.  And, when you are petting her, she likes to wrap her front feet around your arm.  So, so loving! 

She is housebroken, but she will go on a pee pad if one is laid out.  She does like her toys and plays with them mostly on her own.  She doesn't chase a ball or "retrieve" but I've caught her playing with several toys I've given her.  She's also not a big "chewer", I've tried several different bones and she's not that interested in them.  

Sasha doesn't really bark much, but she has on occasion barked when she hears something outside.  Sasha is crate trained and will go in on her own.  A lot of times I find her in her crate laying down, so I think she really likes the security of the crate. 

Sasha is just a wonderful dog, maybe one of the sweetest I've encountered in a long time.  I pray she will get the home she deserves.  She will be your loving and best friend for life.  


Can you give her a safe place to start her new life?

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. 

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS.  We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance.  Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
