About Sashimi

Her coat is a striking blend of golden and cream, medium in length, and you'll find her opinions about the vacuum cleaner and the occasional shoelace vary day to day. At this age, she’s very much a blank slate—crate and potty training are underway, but she’ll need continued, steady training in her new home. With her early socialization, Sashimi gets along with dogs, cats, children, and, honestly, just about everyone she meets. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, so she’s medically ready for adoption. Expect a medium-sized dog as she grows.
