About Sasha

Sasha is a beautiful Akita who has been waiting for a home for 586 days. She must be adopted alongside her best friend, Taz; the two have formed a strong bond and deserve to find happiness together. Having experienced a heartbreaking past, these sweet pups long for a warm home filled with love and a yard to play in. While Taz displays youthful energy, Sasha has a more serious demeanor, showcasing their unique personalities. They are both around 3 to 5 years old, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and likely house trained, as they keep their kennels clean. Sasha does not get along with cats, and they will thrive in a home with older children. Akita experience is necessary for potential adopters, along with an in-person meet and greet.
