Story
Meet Sasha & Santana – Young, Loyal, and Ready to Thrive
Sasha and Santana are a dynamic duo of young German Shepherd mixes (about 1.5 years old) whose spirits are bigger than their kennel runs. They were found as strays on 5/11. These stunning sisters came into the shelter with lovely manners and clearly knew life inside a home—but shelter stress is real, and now their energy levels are through the roof. That said, their core personalities remain intact: friendly, smart, eager to engage, and incredibly loyal.
People-Friendly:
They’ve never met a stranger—kind and affectionate with people of all ages and backgrounds. With time, structure, and exercise, they’ll settle beautifully into family life. We believe they’d do well with kids, especially in a home that can offer them enrichment and help channel their natural energy in positive ways.
Dog-Social (Despite the Drama):
Yes, they’ll raise a fuss at the kennel fence—but don’t be fooled. These girls are dog-friendly with other medium to large dogs. Their size and energy may not pair well with small, fragile, or high-strung dogs.
House Dog Credentials:
Sasha and Santana likely lived inside a home before arriving at the shelter. They appear to be housebroken, and their familiarity with people and manners suggests they were once well-loved pets. Unfortunately, the shelter environment doesn’t meet their emotional needs, and their current behavior reflects that stress.
Playful Souls:
Sasha and Santana love water—kiddie pools, splashing around, you name it. We imagine them living their best lives on hikes, river walks, or just playing in the yard with their people.
The Bottom Line:
They may seem over-the-top in the kennel, but that’s shelter stress talking. These girls just need a chance to decompress, bond with a human again, and be reminded they’re home. They are loyal, loving, and ready to thrive.
