Sasha: Small Circle, Big Heart 🐾💙<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Sasha—a 16-month-old, 26-pound Miniature Australian Shepherd with a thoughtful soul and a story that started a little too fast. I was taken from my mom and littermates at just 6 weeks old, which is much earlier than it should have been. I found myself in a very overwhelming home with 19 other dogs, and I struggled. My previous owner brought me to a vet clinic to be euthanized—but thankfully, the veterinarians stepped in and gave me a second chance. That’s how I made my way into rescue and into a foster home where I’ve been able to start over.<br/><br/>What I’ve learned about myself is this: I don’t need a big, busy world. I just need my person.<br/><br/>I like to keep my circle small. New people make me nervous, and I need time and patience to warm up. But once I trust you, I’m incredibly sweet, loyal, and loving. I enjoy attention from the people I feel safe with, and at night, I happily curl up in bed with my foster mom—it’s my favorite place to be.<br/><br/>Because of my past, I need to be the only animal in the home. I am housetrained and don’t need to be kenneled. I do best in an environment where I feel secure and respected. A physically fenced yard is required so I can safely enjoy the outdoors without added stress.<br/><br/>The good news? I’m a smart girl. I already know how to sit, shake, and lay down, and I’m very food motivated—which means I enjoy learning and will do well with continued, positive training.<br/><br/>Sasha isn’t the kind of dog who will greet the world with open arms—but she will give her whole heart to the right person. She needs someone patient, understanding, and willing to let her move at her own pace. In return, she’ll be a deeply devoted companion who chooses you, every single day.<br/><br/>If you believe that trust is something earned and treasured, Sasha just might be your girl. <br/><br/>Sasha is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. <br/><br/>If you’d like to meet Sasha, please fill out an adoption application at www.furfunrescue.org.<br/><br/>If you have questions about Sasha you can email rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657.<br/><br/>Adopters must live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA.<br/>Indoor homes only.<br/>Adoption Fee: $300
