Sasha, STAR #2172

Sweet Sasha has been adopted by the Kennedy family. The lost their dog, Reba back in May and after taking time, decided to adopt and we are so happy they chose rescue. Lots of long walks and backyard play, plus couch snuggling are in her future. Welcome to our STAR family.  Thank you, Nancy for another great foster job and to David for the home visit.

🐾❤️ Meet Sasha: Queen of the Sploot & Professional Shadow! 🐾❤️

Looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, an adorable head tilt, and a signature sploot? Meet Sasha! This 6-year-old, 50-pound black tri–Australian Shepherd is a sweet girl with plenty of love to give!

Sasha’s journey hasn’t been easy. After her owner passed away, she and another Aussie found themselves in a Louisiana shelter. Thankfully, STAR stepped in, and this sweet girl is getting a fresh start! She’s still learning that the world is a safe place, but every day she’s gaining confidence and showing more of her lovable personality.

Once Sasha gets to know you, personal space becomes a thing of the past! She’s a certified Velcro Aussie who loves being near her people, preferably snuggled up beside you on the couch or bed. She may need a little “booty boost” to get up there (she’s built like a little tank!), but she’s worth the assist!

Sasha has a few adorable quirks that make her extra special. She’s mastered the classic Aussie head tilt, has an impressive sploot, and occasionally performs her signature “pancake maneuver” when something startles or confuses her. Just give her a moment to regroup, and she’s ready to carry on!

A Few Sasha Fun Facts:

• 🏡 House-Trained & Well-Mannered: A wonderful houseguest who can be trusted to free roam when her people are away.
• ❤️ Velcro Girl: Loves being close to her humans and is always ready for some quality together time.
• 🦴 Chew Toy Connoisseur: Prefers sturdy chew toys over stuffies, although an unattended piece of clothing might mysteriously disappear!
• 🐕 Making Aussie Friends: Settling in nicely with her foster family’s resident Aussies.
• 🌷 Blossoming Confidence: Initially shy with new people and situations but warms up quickly with patience and kindness.
• 🐾 Leash Walks in Progress: Sometimes needs a little pause and encouragement before continuing her adventure.
• 🐱 Cats & Kids: Hasn’t been tested with either, so her compatibility is still unknown. Slow intros are key.

Sasha is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has completed her heartworm treatment.

Sasha’s perfect home? One filled with patience, love, cozy places to lounge, and someone who appreciates a devoted companion with a few endearing quirks. She’s already come so far, and with the right family, this little lady will continue to blossom.

If you’re looking for 50 pounds of love, loyalty, head tilts, and sploots, Sasha just might be your girl! ❤️🐾

Sasha is a sweet 50 pound black tri female estimated to be 6-years old.  She, along with another Aussie, were residents of a  Louisiana shelter after their owner passed away.  One of our long-time volunteers scooped her up and kept her until we had a spot for her.  She is officially here!

Sasha will undergo heartworm treatment and should be ready for adoption the middle of November.
