About Sasha

Sasha, affectionately known as "Nena," is a charming five-year-old Rat Terrier mix weighing a delightful ten pounds. With her friendly demeanor and sweet face, she greets everyone with a wagging tail, inviting love and affection. She’s social and enjoys interacting, allowing petting from new friends, and especially seems to thrive around larger dogs. Initially a bit shy, she warms up quickly, adjusting comfortably within just a few hours. Sasha is already house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is even learning to give her paw on command. Her energy level is on the lower side; she delights in daily park visits, basking in the sun by the window, and snuggling on the couch. Treat time transforms her into an adorable meerkat, standing on her hind legs for a tasty reward. Sasha thrives in a calm home environment, making her an ideal companion for anyone who enjoys leisurely walks and cozy cuddle sessions. She’s the perfect fit for apartment living. Sasha has received treatment for heartworm in the past but is now on the mend. Finding love is just an application away!
