About Shasta (Foster-to-Adopt)

Foster-to-Adopt! Shasta is a sweet and sensitive 5-year-old Lab mix weighing in at a perfect 53 pounds. She came to us from the Stockton shelter in rough shape, suffering from severe pneumonia and pregnant with a singleton puppy. Thanks to dedicated veterinary care, plenty of rest, and the love of her foster family, Shasta has made a remarkable recovery and is now healthy, happy, and ready to begin the next chapter of her life. She's a more reserved girl who takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, she is happiest simply being by your side. She is very affectionate and forms a deep bond with her person, loving to be part of your daily life. Shasta rides well in the car, enjoys playing ball (and will bring it back!), and loves stuffed toys, though they rarely survive intact! Because Shasta recently had her puppy, she is currently available through our Foster-to-Adopt program. Her adoption will be finalized once she is medically cleared to be spayed.

Ideal Home

Shasta prefers sleeping on the bed with her humans and enjoys a calm, predictable environment. She is not a fan of crates and would do best with a family that understands she prefers being part of the household rather than confined away from her people. While she may do well with some dogs, Shasta is not a social butterfly and would likely appreciate slow introductions and a home that respects her need to settle in at her own pace.

Ongoing Health

Shasta is currently in recovery and available through our Foster-to-Adopt program. Her adoption will be finalized once she is medically cleared to be spayed.

Training & Support
