About Sasha

Sasha is a 7-month-old pup packed with energy and a goofy, fun-loving spirit. Her mix is a bit of a mystery—her bark and perky ears call to mind a hound, maybe even a beagle, but she has a look all her own. Sasha thrives on activity and needs a family that can offer structure, patience, and plenty of playtime as she grows up. She arrived at the rescue with a smaller dog, so she already knows a thing or two about canine companionship and does get along with other dogs. While she’s naturally sweet, big changes or busy environments can leave her feeling a bit out of her depth. Give her consistency and time, though, and you’ll watch her confidence take off. The rescue asks that all members of your household—including any resident dogs—come meet Sasha in person before adoption to ensure everyone clicks. If you're seeking a bright, athletic, and playful friend who’s eager to soak up training, Sasha’s waiting for you in Phoenix, AZ. This eager pup is ready to find her place with the right people. Your new best friend is just one click away.
