About Sasha

Sasha is an energetic, lively mix of German Shepherd and Rottweiler who commands attention wherever she goes. She has been working closely with the training team, looking for a special adopter who truly understands canine body language and is ready to commit. With Sasha, patience and multiple meet-and-greets are a must—she’ll need intentional introductions before she’s ready to settle in a new place. Once she trusts you, she thrives on interaction and craves being at the center of the action. Sasha’s personality is bold and dramatic—she can be theatrical when she isn’t the focus, so expect some attention-seeking antics! This drive for engagement also makes her a fantastic candidate for advanced activities or dog sports. She is bursting with high energy, so regular physical outlets, thoughtful structure, and ongoing training are essential. Sasha learns quickly when motivated with treats or toys. She prefers a low-traffic, calm home, suited for adults or older, dog-savvy children. Her energy and play style aren’t a fit for smaller kids. Households with cats or small animals will not be a match. Any dog siblings should meet Sasha beforehand to ensure the right dynamic. She does well in her crate and excels with clear, consistent boundaries. Adopters must be experienced; she is not for first-timers. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
