About Shasta
Shasta is a 3-year-old Yorkie-type Terrier mix who combines a striking white coat with black-tipped fur and a big, devoted heart. She thrives on routine: mornings start with soft whines at the bedroom door, eager for her outdoor potty break, followed by breakfast, a nap, and then playtime. She looks forward to walks to the park and is always excited for any adventure or sunny backyard lounging. Shasta forms strong bonds with her people, happily following them room to room, keen on cuddling up or relaxing by your side, and she's just as happy wrestling with toys as she is quietly observing from a cozy spot. Shasta started off hesitant and unsure in new situations but, given patience and a few treats, her trust and playful personality come through quickly. She warms up to a devoted, deeply affectionate companion who is tuned into her cues. Shasta currently lives with a similarly sized dog and gets along well after a proper introduction period. She can be selective about other dogs, particularly larger ones, so she does best with thoughtful introductions and an adopter willing to continue her training. She is reliably house-trained, has good household manners, and responds well to guidance. Her ideal home will have older children who respect her space and someone ready to invest in her ongoing progress. Shasta is not a “plug-and-play” dog, but she is absolutely worth the investment for someone ready for a loyal, entertaining, and affectionate friend. Your patience pays off with a companion who will bring a lot of fun and love into everyday life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
