Sasha is a beautiful white German shepherd, I originally got her in Wales 6 years ago and flew her over to America with me 5 years ago. She is 7 years old and neutered. My wife and I have so much going on and arent mentally in a good spot we arent being the owners that Sasha deserves. Sasha needs someone that can take her on walks and can give her lots of attention. We have a new born and although shes kind, she likes to chase the cat and when she gets focused she gets careless and theres a risk of accidental trampling if our new born is on the floor playing and we arent right next to her. Sasha is a sweet dog and wouldnt intentionally hurt anyone but she does get careless. Shes been getting depressed since weve been focusing our attention on our newborn instead of her and gets a bit jealous. Sasha is fluffy and so doesnt cuddle much but likes to be on our bed when were sleeping. Shes always there for you especially when youre sick.
