Adopt Sasha

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Sasha originally travelled to the UK from a shelter in Romania, with her sister Bella by her side the whole way. These public shelters in Romania are extremely overcrowded, very short on funds for food, the dogs have barely any shelter from the harsh weathers and sadly dog attacks are becoming more and more regular. These 2 babies wouldn't have stood a chance if they'd have stayed much longer. Since arriving with us Sasha has shown to be very affectionate with staff and volunteers and very playful with toys and dog friends. Sasha loves playing out with her dog friends and shares a kennel with her sister however she does show a lot of guarding traits towards the others. She will guard her food and toys inparticular and will snap at and make the other dog go away, she will proect whatever is hers. For these reasons, we believe that Sasha will be best as an only dog in the home. We'd be open to looking at her living with a second dog however this would need to be very carefully managed from day 1 as it could cause of a lot of upset in the home and especially with the current dog if it ends up getting bullied by her. It would need to be a dog of similiar size or larger than her. Sasha loved the cat when cat tested. She was very gentle with him, gave him lots of sniffs and was even cleaning him. She showed no prey drive. Sasha is still just a baby, she currently shows moderate energy levels but she has recently started going out on walks which she is absolutely loving Sasha has never in her life been left fully alone as she's always had the company of other dogs. There's a possibility that Sasha could suffer with superation anxiety until she gets used to being alone, this will need to be worked on and built up slowly Sasha has recently started lead training and is absolutely loving it Sasha has no form of basic training. She will also need toilet training in her new home
