Sasha, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sasha
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Rottweiler
Home: USA
 
   We'd like to introduce our beautiful girl, Sasha. Sasha is a wonderful dog! She is an eight-year old Rottweiler and my daughter Allison, who is also eight, loves to play toss-and-retrieve with her. We adopted Sasha from an animal rescue group; it was so sad because she was already an older dog and no one wanted her. Her first owners didn't care for her very well, and Sasha was left in the muddy backyard most of the time. However, she loves everyone and has become best friends with all the kids in the neighborhood. She also likes playing with her squeaky toy "babies." Our two cats, Ricky and Lucy, aren't so sure that she wants to be friends, although she is a gentle giant.

    I hope that more people consider adopting older dogs and giving them a second chance - they deserve to enjoy their senior years in comfort and with good care. Sasha came with perfect house manners; she doesn't chew, bark or bite and knows her basic commands. That's one of the many advantages to adopting an older dog - often they are pre-trained. Sasha is such a sweetheart, we cannot imagine ever giving her up!
