SHASTA

The rescue’s notes on SHASTA

Meet SHASTA, a beautiful Malamute mix with a bright spirit and an adventurous heart. She's an active, outdoors‑loving girl who thrives on long walks, hikes, and any chance to explore the world with her people. If you're someone who loves fresh air, movement, and a loyal companion by your side, she'll fit right in. Shasta gets along wonderfully with other dogs and she's been exposed to a wide variety of animals. She does well with cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and even a goose. The only animals she struggles with are rabbits, so a rabbit‑free home is important. She's crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and knows a great set of commands, including: Sit, Wait, Load up, Okay (her release word), Leave it, Cross (she waits for permission to cross the road), Paw, High Five and Get it. Her recall still needs work, so she should remain on leash during outdoor adventures for now. With consistency and patience, she'll continue to grow. Shasta will do best in a home with older kids or no kids, simply because her energy and enthusiasm are better suited to a more mature household. She's an ideal match for outdoorsy people who enjoy staying active and want a dog who can keep up. Most importantly, she's looking for people with lots of love to give—because she has plenty to give back. Shasta is ready for a life full of adventure, companionship, and affection. If you're looking for a loyal, energetic partner to share your days with, she might be the perfect fit.
