Sashimi Roll Folded Ear Fun

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 rescue rules apply and breed is simply our best guess. Sashimi is fostered in a loving home while she waits for her forever family, and her fosters rave about how warm and genuinely grateful she is, which comes through so consistently in the small moments. She has the sweetest habit of gently reaching out with her paw for attention, not demandingly, not dramatically, just a soft little "excuse me, I love you." It perfectly matches her personality because despite being affectionate and connected to her people, she is never overly pushy or insistent. Her foster also shared that 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. This is a girl who will thrive with canine companionship. Her play style is rough-and-tumble and vocal, so she will be happiest with dogs that enjoy rowdy play and are confident enough to match her energy without being overwhelmed by them.

Ideal Home

Sashimi has a medium-high energy level overall and 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. As for cats, Sashimi has shown that she can coexist successfully with them, but she is not an "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 has no intention of harming cats, but because she likes to engage with them, 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.
