Sashimi looks like the beloved side-kick dog in a whimsical, cozy kids book. Between her soft expression and those perfectly folded forward ears that sit in literal dog-eared perfection, she is ridiculously endearing! She is estimated to be around 2 years old, weighs 49 lbs, and appears to be some sort of shepherd mix, though breed is simply our best guess. Go watch Sashimi on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this tenderhearted little sidekick.
Ideal Home
Sashimi is a medium-high energy girl who would love an active home that includes her in life rather than expecting her to simply decorate the couch all day. That said, she also showed a lovely ability to settle indoors, relax on the couch, and just quietly exist near her people after activity. She will thrive with canine companionship and would be happiest with dogs that enjoy rowdy play and are confident enough to match her energy without being overwhelmed by it. She can coexist successfully with cats, but she is not a ignore the cat completely kind of dog. She tends to be curious, playful, and a little too social to live with a cat who absolutely hates dogs. She would do best with confident, dog-savvy cats who have space to escape the playfulness when needed. Having another playful dog in the home also helps appropriately redirect some of her social energy away from the cats. In her foster home, management and slow introductions have been important pieces of her success.
Ongoing Health
No ongoing health concerns were mentioned.
Training & Support
Sashimi would thrive with adopters who appreciate smart dogs and are willing to continue helping her build confidence through structure, positive experiences, and continued leash work. She has settled beautifully into daily life, rides wonderfully in the car, loads up easily on her own, then calmly relaxes for the trip like a seasoned little road trip companion. She is also a regular at doggie daycare and genuinely enjoys being around other dogs, especially playful ones who appreciate her active, social playstyle. Her play style is rough-and-tumble and vocal.
