Our dogs currently up for adoption

Beloved Sasha isn’t your normal adopt-me-to-save-my-life case. Sasha already got lucky that way more than 8 years ago when she was rescued from a pound in Ohio. Special girl that she is, Sasha was taken into a guide dog training program, graduated handsomely, and has spent the past 8 years being the loving furry “eyes” for her mom. Unfortunately, service dogs can’t continue to work forever and, living in an apartment from which she is gone 11-12 hours each day for work, her mom can’t continue to be a good home for Sasha in her doggy retirement.

So, Sasha needs you. She is an obviously beautiful husky, approximately 9 years old, who has served well and faithfully and now deserves a loving retirement home for her golden years. She is excellently trained, spayed, current on vaccinations, recently checked for hip trouble—turned out to just be muscular, gets along with both dogs and cats, and tolerates visits from mom’s grandchildren but would probably prefer a home without resident little ones. Sasha is a doll, and has been a very big part of mom’s life for 8 years so if there’s any way her new family could allow mom to hear about her and even occasionally visit, everyone would be very happy.

Don’t you need a little Sasha TLC in your life? She deserves yours! Several rescue groups are working together to help find Sasha’s new home so, yes, you may see her posted on more than one site. Her adoption process will include an application, references, and home visit. If you are interested in becoming Sasha’s new family or getting more info about her, please contact her adoption coordinator, Linda, at knollcreek88@aol.com or 317-439-1080 today.
