Meet Sasha Aurora. Sasha is a sweet little girl with a story that no dog should ever have to tell. She was found abandoned in an apartment complex in Georgia, and it was immediately clear that she had endured a long period of neglect and pain. Her tiny body was covered in mange, she had lost much of her beautiful fur, and her nails had grown so long that walking was difficult. We can only imagine the suffering she experienced before finally getting the help she desperately needed. But despite everything she has been through, Sasha has remained incredibly sweet. Now, she finally feels what it is like to be cared for, comfortable, and loved. Sasha is the perfect little companion and a wonderfully compact addition to a family looking for a loyal friend. She deserves a soft place to land and a family who will cherish her for all the days ahead. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Sasha, including her personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. Sasha has already overcome so much. Now she just needs a family to help her write the happiest chapter yet. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

🧠 Temperament
Sasha is a sweet little girl with a story that no dog should ever have to tell. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
