Meet Sasha
Sasha
Age: 4 years old Sex: Female Breed: Shar Pei mix Weight: 55 pounds Good In Home With: Dogs, Cats
When Sasha arrived at Chicago Animal Care & Control, she looked like she’d been through every rough patch the city could throw at a dog. Then she lifted her wrinkly Shar‑Pei/Bulldog face, leaned in, and offered a gentle kiss that said, “Hi, I’m sweet as pie. Where do we keep the stuffed animals?” That was day one of her comeback tour.
At four years old and 55 pounds, Sasha is a character in the best sense—expressive eyebrows, comedic timing, and a smile that makes people at the crosswalk do double‑takes. She has enough wit for her own comedy channel, specializing in observational humor: dramatic sighs at bath time, slow‑motion flops onto the couch, and a recurring sketch called “Who, Me?” when a squeaker mysteriously stops squeaking.
Her great love, aside from people, is stuffies. Infinity love. If plush toys earned frequent‑snuggle miles, Sasha would be platinum for life. She carries them from room to room, tucks them in, and hosts meetings to ensure morale is high. Every stuffed animal gets a role—emotional support avocado, afternoon nap chaperone, late‑night confidant. She’s also a sincere admirer of little dogs; she treats the small fries like VIPs and lets them set the pace, the route, and—if we’re honest—the house rules.
Sasha is ready for a home made of understanding, peace, and patience. She doesn’t need noise or novelty; she needs your steady presence, soft words, and the reassurance that the hard days are behind her. In return, she brings a daily highlight reel: wrinkle‑forward grin, perfectly timed snorts, and enough cute, creative content to fill your camera roll and your group chats.
From the kennels to the couch, Sasha has kept her sweetness and found her sparkle. If you’re looking for a resilient comedian with a heart of gold and a plush‑toy entourage, come meet the star of her own feel‑good series.
