My story

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

Meet Sasha (Yes, that Sasha)

Sasha is a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix who has officially decided that her past does not define her future — and she’s ready to start the best chapter yet.

Her origin story is… unfortunate (a previous owner didn’t want a female dog and fed her only sweet potatoes), which left Sasha malnourished and dealing with skin issues. But thanks to proper vet care, real food, and the endless love of her foster mama, Sasha has had a full glow-up. New body, new confidence, same sweet soul.

Now, Sasha is thriving. She’s healthy, happy, and a total sweetheart who gets along beautifully with kids, cats, and other dogs. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be loved — and will return that love tenfold. Gentle, affectionate, and quietly grateful, Sasha is proof that second chances can change everything.

Sasha is looking for a forever home that will cherish her, spoil her responsibly (no potato-only diets allowed), and remind her every day that she’s safe and wanted.

If you’re ready for a loyal companion with a heart of gold and a comeback story worth cheering for, Sasha is waiting.
