About Sashi

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Sashi is a friendly, outgoing boy who loves meeting new people and making friends wherever he goes. He would do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with his energy and provide the respectful space he likes to feel at ease. Having spent time as a farm dog, Sashi is trained to leave chickens and goats alone, though he does have a strong prey drive and will chase small animals including cats. Because of that, Sashi will need a cat-free home. He can be selective about dog friends and sometimes guards his favorite things, so he would really thrive as the only dog in the household. However, with good management and careful introductions, Sashi might be able to live with a compatible dog companion. Sashi already knows a handful of basic cues and is a pleasure to walk—polite on leash and always up for outdoor adventures. Whether you are hiking, exploring, or just enjoying nature year-round, Sashi will happily join you, wagging his tail and full of enthusiasm. For anyone hoping for a loyal and adventurous companion, Sashi promises to be a wonderful friend. Did you know he’s a Capricorn? Capricorns are known for their determination and loyalty!
