Story
The first thing you'll notice about Shasha Honey is her smile. The second thing you'll notice is that she fully expects belly rubs to follow. This girl has perfected the art of dramatically flopping over and presenting her belly as if she's been waiting all day for you to admire her. Between her goofy personality, her love of people, and her ability to make friends wherever she goes, Shasha has a way of making every day a little brighter. She's the type of dog who can spend the afternoon wrestling with her dog friends, hop in the car for an adventure, and then happily curl up beside you for a nap when the day is done.
Watch her video and prepare to fall for that adorable smile: https://youtu.be/gmLZ29luitk?si=W98zFOF6X3GFyfLv
Shasha Honey is approximately 4 years old, weighs around 50 lbs, and we believe she may be a German Shepherd mix. With rescue it's always a mystery, and we can never guarantee breed or age.
One of our favorite things about Shasha is just how versatile she is. She can be playful, goofy, adventurous, cuddly, and relaxed all in the same day. Her foster describes her as calm but quirky, and honestly, that's the perfect description. She has a wonderful balance of energy where she's always up for fun but also knows how to settle down and relax when it's time.
Shasha is currently fostered with several other dogs and has done wonderfully with all of them. She especially loves playing with her younger Rottweiler mix foster sibling. The two spend their days wrestling, rolling around in the grass, chasing each other through the yard, and taking turns pouncing on one another in the most entertaining way possible. She's also lived successfully with older dogs who aren't interested in constant play and has shown that she can adjust her energy to match the dog she's spending time with. We think she would absolutely love a playful canine companion in her forever home.
Shasha has also met a cat. While she initially showed some curiosity and wanted to investigate, her foster didn't feel it came from a bad place. She appeared more interested than anything else, and with proper introductions and management, she may do well in a home with feline friends.
She has also been around a 6-year-old child and absolutely adores him. The two spend tons of time together, and Shasha has proven herself to be gentle, affectionate, and incredibly loving. Her foster specifically noted what a cuddle bug she is with their son, and it's easy to see why she would make such a wonderful family dog. If you're looking for a dog that can be both a best friend and a family companion, Shasha checks a lot of boxes.
When it comes to training, Shasha is both crate trained and potty trained. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night, spends time crated during normal work hours, and even eats her meals in her crate. In fact, her foster believes her crate may actually be a comfort space for her because she seems to genuinely enjoy having it available. She's also learned how to sit and wait patiently for food and continues to impress her foster with how eager she is to learn.
Shasha is a big fan of car rides and is always excited to see where the road leads. She enjoys looking out the window, happily rides along, and seems perfectly content accompanying her people on adventures. Whether it's a trip to the park, a scenic drive, or running errands around town, Shasha is ready to be your co-pilot.
Her energy level is another thing we love about her. She can spend hours playing and zooming around with her dog friends, but she's just as happy to plop down for a long nap afterward. She doesn't need constant entertainment and isn't bouncing off the walls. Instead, she has that wonderful middle-ground personality that makes her adaptable to so many different lifestyles.
As for her ideal home, we think Shasha would thrive in a home with a yard where she can stretch her legs, play with a dog friend, enjoy some zoomies, and soak up the sunshine. She truly seems like the type of dog who can fit into almost any loving home. Her foster summed it up perfectly when they said, "Shasha is a light. She would fit in absolutely anywhere."
If you're looking for a dog with a giant smile, a goofy personality, a soft heart, and a never-ending supply of belly rub requests, Shasha might just be your perfect match.
We are willing to test Shasha Honey with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
