About Sasha

Sasha has been a well-loved companion in her foster home, but she has waited far too long for the stability of a forever family. She’s low-maintenance, quick to settle in, and craves affection above all. As an adult pit bull mix, Sasha is house trained, crate trained, and reliably knows her basic commands. She thrives around people, enjoys the company of calm dogs, and does well with kids over five. However, she’s not a match for homes with cats.
