About Sasha

Sasha is a charming senior Chihuahua on the lookout for a cozy retirement with her sister, Lexie. These girls were surrendered when their elderly owner faced mobility issues. Thankfully, our volunteers rescued them from a grim fate. At fifteen years old, Sasha is sweet, well-behaved, and provides the confidence Lexie needs in new settings. Housebroken and leash-trained, she enjoys lounging on the couch or soaking up the sun in the yard. It's essential that Sasha and Lexie are adopted together. They bring joy to each other and are friendly with other dogs and cats, making them perfect companions. They deserve a loving home where they can relax and enjoy their golden years.
