Story
August 2026 update from her foster family: Sascha is a cheerful bundle of energy, who may have been a stunt double in a previous life. Instead of taking the stairs, Sascha leaps over them. Her favorite command is “Let’s Go,” and her least favorite command is “Wait,” which she considers more of a suggestion than a rule. She loves to run off leash, but doesn’t always love coming back when called. Sascha is a take charge gal who believes walks should be a collaborative negotiation. That’s why a 2-point leash attachment is essential. She is alert to every sight and sound and may suddenly develop her own vision for the walking route. In unfamiliar places she is a cautious tourist and can become jittery and unpredictable. With new people Sascha is shy and curious but she is best kept at a respectful distance from dogs. However, she has proven she can live in harmony with the right canine roommates, as long as they understand that she is their queen.Sascha would do best in a low-distraction neighborhood with a human who appreciates her athleticism and who understands that she can be both fiercely independent and fiercely devoted.Sascha arrived at NCCR on 11/21/24, surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her. She turned out to be very pregnant, but now that her puppies have all been adopted, and Sascha has been spayed and brought up to date with her veterinary care, it’s her turn to find a forever family of her own! She is an approximately 4-5-year-old female mixed breed. Sascha loves people, but can be a bit shy with strangers, especially men. Sweet talk and some treats generally bring her out of her shell quickly! Show her that you’re only going to love her, and she’ll melt like ice cream in August! She has lived with another large dog, as well as children but cannot live with small dogs or cats as she will chase them.Sascha is leash trained, house trained and knows basic commands, too. This sweet girl just wants someone to love her as she deserves! If beautiful blondes catch your eye, give Sascha a look. Sascha is in foster care. Meet & greets can be arranged for approved applicants.*Approved applicants are welcome to participate in our popular Slumber Party program and take a dog home for up to 2 weeks to make sure he/she is a great fit. If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application found on the website at caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again when you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email us at adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day. We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in. *PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide. If they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown or private number calling them. Thank you!NYS Registration #RR028
