Meet Sasha: A Fluffy Dream with a Heart of Gold 🤍🐾
Sasha is the ultimate dream dog—a gorgeous, cloud-like beauty with a gentle soul and a golden heart. Estimated to be 3–4 years old and weighing around 68 lbs, Sasha is a Great Pyrenees mix with hints of Golden Retriever charm, making her both majestic and irresistibly sweet.
🌟 Her Story & Personality:
Found as a stray in Southern Illinois, Sasha arrived at BAARK Dog Rescue in need of love and care—and she’s blossomed in her foster home. She’s befriended dogs of all sizes, enjoys the company of respectful children, and even gets along with cats. Sasha is calm, affectionate, and quietly expressive, with a soft spot for companionship and cozy moments.
🏡 Her Ideal Forever Home:
Sasha will thrive in a home that understands her Pyrenees roots and Golden Retriever warmth:
- A secure, fenced yard for safe outdoor time
- A family with experience in the Great Pyrenees breed
- Plenty of attention, love, and gentle structure
- A canine companion would be a welcome bonus
- Older children (10+) or an adult-only household
She’s housebroken, spayed, and crate-trained, and while she’s a bit on the heavy side, she’ll benefit from a family tuned into her physical and medical needs—ready to help her stay healthy and happy.
🩺 Health & Vetting:
Sasha is:
- Fully vetted
- Spayed and microchipped
- Up to date on vaccinations
- Heartworm negative and on year-round preventative
📍 Adoption Info:
Sasha is being fostered through BAARK Dog Rescue in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. We adopt locally within our area. If you’re ready to welcome this fluffy vision into your life and meet her needs with love and care, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or call 847-852-0895 for more information and an adoption application.

📍 Adoption Info:
Sasha is being fostered through BAARK Dog Rescue in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. We adopt locally within our area. If you’re ready to welcome this fluffy vision into your life and meet her needs with love and care, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or call 847-852-0895 for more information and an adoption application.
1. Complete B.A.A.R.K.’s adoption application in its entirety. Prior to submitting an application for a particular pet, we encourage you to research the breed so that you understand the characteristics and needs of the animal.
2. After submitting the application, a B.A.A.R.K. adoption coordinator will contact you (assuming you are the primary caregiver to/adopter of the new pet) to review your application and conduct an initial phone interview.
3. A representative of B.A.A.R.K. will contact your references and verify the veterinary information that you have provided on the application for pets currently or previously owned. Please be sure you inform your references that you have provided their contact information to B.A.A.R.K. and that they will be contacted.
4. If, at any time during the adoption process, we conclude that the pet of interest is not a good match for your household, your application will be kept on file for one year. You will not be required to complete another application during that time period if you find another pet you are interested in adopting from B.A.A.R.K. Rescue.
5. After the initial phone interview, if B.A.A.R.K. has decided that the pet of interest to you may be a good fit for your household, a “meet & greet” will be arranged, either at the home of the foster family or at your home. If the first visit is preferred to take place at the foster home, a second visit will be arranged at your home.
6. B.A.A.R.K. will bring the pet of interest to your home for a meeting with ALL family members and ALL other pets within the household. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the pet you have chosen is appropriate for your living situation and lifestyle. Please note that ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALL FAMILY PETS MUST BE PRESENT FOR THE IN-HOME INTERVIEW. More than one meeting may be required during the adoption process to ensure the best placement possible for the pet and the household.
7. When you have made the decision to adopt a pet from B.A.A.R.K. Rescue, we ask that you to spend 1-2 days thinking about the decision, in order to ensure that you are making the best choice for the pet and your family. A same day adoption is NEVER an option.
8. Once the decision is made to proceed with the adoption, an adoption contract must be reviewed, completed, and signed. B.A.A.R.K.’s adoption fee is non-refundable. You may also be asked to provide a separate check(s) of $150 as a fence deposit, obedience training deposit, and/or spay/neuter deposit. Check deposits will either be destroyed or returned upon completion of the required action.
