About Dasha

Meet Dasha, a five-year-old Belgian Shepherd mix with a story of resilience and kindness. She found herself wandering the streets of Mexico with her puppy, who tragically didn’t survive after encountering poisoned food. Dasha, however, fought through those trying times and has transformed into a loving companion. Now in foster care, she weighs about 44 lbs and is house-trained. Dasha enjoys gentle play with other dogs, especially the little ones, and takes a calm approach to new experiences. She thrives on routine, happily following commands with just a word of praise. Though she prefers leisurely walks over vigorous runs, her energy is soft and manageable. With a watchful demeanor around strangers, she takes her time to assess new people before showing them affection—her favorite way of saying thank you is a heartfelt hug. Dasha does well with children who know to respect her space, and she gets along with other dogs easily. While she has a tentative interest in cats, she's never acted aggressively towards them. This sweet girl brings warmth and devotion to those she trusts, and after enduring so much, she deserves a permanent and loving home. Could you be the one to give her that?
