Sasha is a confident and sassy 7-year-old terrier mix who lives up to her name with a personality that’s nothing short of fierce. Whether strutting on her daily walks or commanding attention with her spirited bark, she has an undeniable star quality. Like her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, she’s bold, fearless, and always ready to shine. Beneath her diva exterior, though, lies a sweet and loyal heart that craves snuggles and quiet moments with her favorite people.

Story
Meet Mama! This beautiful 2-year-old pittie girl is as sweet as they come once she feels safe and loved. Mama had a rough start to life, but she hasn’t let that stop her big heart from shining through. She’s affectionate, goofy, and adores spending time with her people. Mama’s favorite game is tug – she’s strong, playful, and a little mouthy when she gets excited, so she’ll do best with someone who understands her spirited play style. Because of her past, she’s not comfortable being kenneled and would thrive in a home where she can relax freely and feel secure. Mama needs to be the only pet in the home, but she promises to fill your heart and your house with more love than you could imagine. With patience, consistency, and kindness, she’ll reward you with endless loyalty and kisses. If you’re ready to give Mama the second chance she deserves, she’s ready to give you all her love in return.

Story
Meet Ella! Ella is a sweet, 2-year-old female Boxer who came to us as a stray, so not much is known about her past. However, her foster parents have gotten to know her well and can attest to her lovable personality and clever nature!Ella is housebroken, though she doesn’t give obvious signals, so her adopter will need to monitor her after meals and drinks. She is incredibly smart—she can even open doors by jumping and hitting the handle! She has a bit of prey drive, so she would do best in a home without small pets.This fun-loving girl enjoys leash walks, though she can get very excited and would benefit from some basic training. Ella is also a big snuggler and loves curling up on the couch with her people.Ella is not spayed yet, and she may not be adopted until her surgery, which is scheduled for December 17, 2025. However, her foster/adopter may care for her in a foster-to-adopt arrangement until she is able to be officially adopted. PRAS will provide food, a leash, and a collar for her foster term. The foster/adopter will be responsible for transporting her to and from the shelter for her surgery.If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and playful Boxer to join your family, Ella might be the perfect match!
