DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Sasha is 6-7yo, weighs 66-70lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is microchipped. "Sasha knows the sit command and come on leash but ignores when off-leash. She has a slight case of separation anxiety but doesn't destroy anything while we are out of the house. She's an excellent watch dog, probably would work very well with livestock since she is a herding breed. We don't know much about Sasha's past save for she is afraid of many things (recycling trucks, wind, noises, refuses to walk or pulls on leash, does not respond to commands even though she has beeen trained to do so). We opted to keep her to ensure that she would have a secure, safe environment but now at our advanced ages, find that she would be much better off with a place to run freely, like a farm or someone with a lot of land." Please note Sasha'a guardians are also amenable to finding a foster home to bridge rehoming, if someone is interested and/or available. Sasha's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her: "We adopted sasha from the animal shelter four years ago and kept her with us even though nothing was known about her former life and she was picked up as a stray on Ballenger creek by someone. She unfortunately came to us with a host of problems (afraid of practically everything, ie, aggression issues, not responding to commands) that we have tried our best to help her out with but the time has come for us to give her up because problems have become worse, i.e., excessive barking, nipping at people, severe aggression problems with anyone but close family members. We have spent thousands of dollars in training her, we have given her a good secure home. Our vet prescribed chlomacon which we have administered to her for well over a year to try to calm her down. Now, both my husband and I are in our late 70’s and we can no longer care for her the way she should be cared for. We would like to re-home her or find foster care that could bridge adoption by someone else who could take care of her." BITE INCIDENT: During the last 10 days, in Brunswick, MD, Sasha nipped at the neighbor's child; the nip broke the skin, but animal control was not involved and medical treatment was not required. Sasha's guardian further explains: "She nipped at the neighbor child's thigh and held her at bay, resulting in a small scrape; she has never really bitten anyone but she is a herding dog and nips occasionally." Sasha's guardian states the following regarding children: Sasha has lived with children, ages 9 & 13 now, so she recommends her living with children, stating "She tries to herd them sometimes, but loves to play normally with the 'fetchit'." Sasha's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Sasha hasn't lived with dogs, but her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating "She is fine; no aggression noted." Sasha's guardian states the following regarding cats: Sasha has lived with a cat, so her guardian recommends her living with cats, stating "She likes our indoor cat, Rufus, but barks at the other strays that roam outside our home." Sasha's guardian describes her as: Very active Barks alot Playful Likes to be touched Affectionate Fearful Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Separation anxiety Sasha's guardian describes her ideal future home: "I'm not sure what would be ideal for sasha. I think she would benefit from having a large fenced in yard or farm situation where she could run around. She is a very fast runner and loves to play with the fetchit. She would benefit from a calm, serene household since unusual situations set her aggression off. If we had no visitors in our life, she would be very happy. She has had to go through some chaos recently which had made her very unmanageable. Rehoming Fee: None Location: Brunswick, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS 1.
