Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Sasha, a 16-month-old, 26-pound Miniature Australian Shepherd whose journey began with more challenges than most. Taken from her mom and littermates at just 6 weeks old, Sasha faced an overwhelming situation: a home with 19 other dogs. Struggling to find peace and safety, she was almost not given a chance—until veterinary heroes intervened and brought her into rescue. In foster care, Sasha has learned the comforts of love and security, and now she's in search of the right person to continue her journey. Sasha thrives in calm, stable environments and values trust and patience above all else. New faces and situations can be intimidating, so she needs time to warm up, but when she does, she is incredibly loyal, loving, and gentle. Her favorite moments are spent snuggled close to her trusted person at night. Sasha must be the only animal in the home, and her adopter will need to provide a physically fenced yard so she can safely explore outdoors without anxiety. Smart and eager to please, Sasha already knows how to sit, shake, and lay down, and she's highly food-motivated—making her a great candidate for continued positive reinforcement training. She is fully house trained and does not require kenneling. Sasha is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Sasha will not be the dog who rushes to greet the world, but for the right person, she'll offer unmatched devotion and love every day. She belongs with someone who believes that trust is earned and deeply valued. Adopters must reside within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA, and she is seeking an indoor-only home.
