My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sasha ✨

Sasha was born on October 25 and has had quite the start to life. Her mom was found heavily pregnant in Mexico and made her way to a temporary foster home in California, where Sasha and her littermates were born safely. At just three weeks old, she traveled to Minnesota and has been thriving in foster care.

Sasha is a sweet, playful puppy who is curious about the world and enjoys learning new things. She has been well socialized in her foster home and does well with other dogs, is comfortable around resident cats, and has been around children.

She is comfortable with a crate and is about 70% potty pad trained, continuing to make steady progress with routine and consistency. As a young puppy, continued positive socialization and training will be important to help her grow into a confident adult dog.

Sasha must complete her remaining vetting through Small Dog Rescue, so her adopter must be located in the Rochester, Minnesota area to ensure continuity of care.

If you’re looking for a puppy who’s off to a great start and ready to grow with her forever family, Sasha could be the perfect fit 💛


- Sasha's adoption fee is $400 + MN sales tax.
- You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal. Please complete the adoption application located on our website: https://smalldogsminnesota.org/adoption-application/
- Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philosophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, it must be charged.
- Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes. Since we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals, sometimes we cannot answer emails promptly. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to you.
- You must be 18 years of age to make an adoption request.

More about this rescue

Small Dog Rescue of Minnesota (SDR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer no-kill group committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of dogs 20 pounds and under.

Dogs are fostered in volunteers' homes so they can be loved like a family member until they are placed in a suitable adoptive home, determined by a review of a written application, a criminal background check, several reference consultations, and a home visit.
