Sasha
Sasha!
Well, Hello!!! My name is Sasha, I’m so pleased to meet you and everyone and every dog in this most wonderful world of ours. I just love to wag my tail and follow everyone about to be sure they are with me and happy. I love going for walks—I love to pull on my leash I get so excited. I am told that I need to “work on” that. Pooh! All in all I am one cuddly little love bug and except for silly old back I’m about a perfect IG.
So, here’s about me. I’m very special and will give you my special love. I also have some very special needs. But first, my history. I was a stray, so I don’t tell my age—they are estimating about 8 just because my face is a little gray. Pooh! I’m a puppy at heart. When I was found I dragged my back legs and my back feet were a mess and my back hurt a lot. In my first foster home they got me all fixed up and healed my feet and gave me pills so I didn’t hurt any more and could relax. They took pictures of my inside and it turns out three of my vertebrae are smushed up together. I have recovered a lot, no more pills, but my back may cause a problem in the future. My foster mom says I could benefit from a special dog wheelchair to support my back so I could really run. And I need to be lifted on and off high things.
So, you might ask, why didn’t I stay in that foster home that got me all fixed up? Well, that’s my other special need. You see, they worked. I was left ALONE with only a dog for company! I screamed. And screamed. And SCREAMED. I can scream really loud. I do not like to be alone. I am not an apartment dog for that reason. In my new foster home I live with 3 other dogs and my humans are retired. I don’t scream at all any more, even when both my foster parents leave. The other dogs are calm and have taught me not to get so hysterical. But I may have to learn that all over again.
At first my back made it hard for me to tell when I needed to potty. I can hold my pee and go out the dog door now. I am just learning to tell when I am going to poop so we all hope I can do that outside too. But, I’m not perfect.
I hope I can find a home I can give all my love to that won’t be bothered by my tiny imperfections.
