Story
Meet Sahara!  I am playful, curious and attentive. I love people and get along well with my select group of furriends. It's best to keep me away from cats and other small creatures, I just can't kick my predatory instincts!  While I'm friendly to most dogs, I have a hard time sharing and can get upset if another dog touches my stuff. I think I'd like to be your one and only pet. Breed: Dutch Shepherd, approx 70lbs DOB: 2023
