About Sasha

Adoption Fee: $25
Doberman Pinscher / Lab
Age: Senior
Sex: Female

[Read About Natural Incontinence Care] am looking to re-home our dog Sasha. She is an older dog that we got from the Montgomery County ARC about 5 years ago. She is a Doberman/Lab mix as best we can tell. At the time, we had a kindergartner that was sad about being an only child and I thought a dog would help. As time has gone on, we have found ourselves over extended and not able to give a dog the attention it needs. To be up front, this dog has serious separation anxiety and she needs a tremendous amount of attention to be happy that we are just unable to provide. She is also toileting in our home frequently even though she is house broken, and I believe it's partly due to her anxiety and partly due to her getting older and us not being home so often to let her out or walk her. She can't be crate trained which I tried. I don't know if she had some past trauma related to a crate? She also has food allergies and associated ear infections. She is a fence jumper. She is not great with cats (but ok) and she is not at all friendly with other dogs. It is for these reasons that taking her back to a shelter is not optimal because I don't think she would get adopted. On the positive side, she is truly a loving, sweet, gentle giant. She absolutely loves kids and babies. I think she would be the perfect dog for the right fit, maybe someone who does not work. I feel it was a mistake for us to adopt her, as my husband has a busy career and, I have been dealing with sick family members for some years now, and we have a school age child, and I guess we are just too busy with life at this point in the game. I regret the decision to take her in the first place, and feel I have learned my lesson with taking on more responsibility that I am really able to, but would really like to see her loved the way she deserves. She's a good girl, she just has some issues. I know some may feel that I am a horrible person, but just being honest that I'm at my wits end and just want to do the best thing for both of us. If you think you might be able to help us or would like to meet her, please just send me a message. Small adoption fee for safety for a GOOD home, free leash, harness, bed, toys and food bowl. She is up to date on her vaccines and had her teeth cleaned in June I think.
