Meet Sasha. This dog has taught us a very important lesson: never trust the camera. Based on her original photos, we were fully prepared to welcome what appeared to be a majestic, full sized Shepherd. Instead, out hopped this delightfully compact little imposter. We can only assume her intake pictures were taken using forced perspective, clever camera angles, and an extremely ambitious production budget.

She may be smaller than advertised, but everything else about her exceeds expectations. Sasha is sweet, affectionate, and always happy to make a new friend. She has all the beauty and charm of a Shepherd wrapped up in a perfectly medium sized package. The special effects may have fooled us, but one thing is completely real. Sasha is an absolute star, and she’s ready for her happily ever after.
