About Shasta

Shasta arrived at Four Paws alongside her buddy Tippy after their owner faced serious health issues. She’s a spayed 5-6 year-old border collie, crate and house trained, who thrives on companionship. With a gorgeous mix of black and white, her medium-length coat carries striking brown highlights on her back and tail. This affectionate girl is not just sweet; she’s social and enjoys the company of other dogs, too. At a recent event, she showed her friendly nature by curling up in a potential adopter's lap. Shasta loves to play and go on walks, so a secure fenced yard is important for her to run and explore safely. She’s treat motivated and has a lot of energy, making her eager to join in on family activities. Shasta is ready to find her forever home. The adoption fee is $250, covering her spay surgery, microchip, and vaccinations (parvo/distemper and rabies). If you’re interested in welcoming Shasta into your family, please reach out via email or phone. They are all volunteers; your patience is appreciated!
