About Shasta

At an estimated 8 years young, this Alaskan Malamute is a sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on attention. She would excel in a home with children who can shower her with love and spoil her like she deserves. Sasha loves to snuggle, roll over for belly rubs, and enjoys her daily walks. She may also do well with a male companion after an introduction. If you’re searching for a lovable friend, Sasha might just be the perfect match. Click apply to start the adoption process.
