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 a tenderhearted little sidekick who is warm and genuinely grateful, and it 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. 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.
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. She 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. Sashimi has shown that 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.
Ongoing Health
No specific ongoing health issues were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Her play style with other dogs 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 it. In her foster home, management and slow introductions have been important pieces of her success. Sashimi is the kind of dog who bonds hard once she trusts you.
