ushing to see what’s happening, Sashimi is perfectly content to take her time. She’s often the last one to saunter outside and the last one to trot back in—everything happens on Sashimi’s schedule!
She does well with other dogs and has been around both her siblings and larger adult dogs in her foster home. While she enjoys a good wrestling session with her littermates when the mood strikes, she’s also perfectly happy entertaining herself with her toys, relaxing in a dog bed, or hanging out with the “big kids.” She’d likely enjoy having another playful dog in her new home, but her independent streak means she knows how to keep herself occupied, too.
Sashimi has also been wonderful with her foster family’s 2-year-old daughter. She’s gentle with her, allows herself to be held, and has shown no concerning behavior around children.
Like her siblings, Sashimi is still working on house training, but she’s off to a promising start. She does a great job going to the bathroom right away when taken outside and is beginning to show signs that she’s looking for an appropriate potty spot when indoors. She’s also still learning about leash walking—and right now, she thinks chewing on the leash is much more entertaining than actually walking on it!
Sashimi is comfortable spending time in a puppy pen and does well in a carrier. Since she’s still in the potty-training and teething stages, she should continue to be crated or safely confined when left unsupervised.
One thing Sashimi does have some opinions about is food. She can be the most assertive and vocal of the group at mealtime, so she would do best being fed separately from other animals. She’s fine eating around her siblings now, but giving her a designated space for meals will help set her up for success.
Despite being the independent one, Sashimi absolutely has a cuddly side. She may not be the puppy who comes racing over and launches herself into your lap, but once you scoop her up, she is content to be held and snuggled. She simply likes affection on her own terms.
Sashimi loves toys, playtime, and exploring alongside her foster family. She and her siblings will happily follow their people around the yard, then settle into playing together once they know where everyone is hanging out.
Sashimi would thrive with a family who appreciates an independent little personality and is ready for all the training, teething, playtime, and fun that come with raising a puppy. In return, they’ll get a happy, confident little companion who knows exactly what she wants—and will keep everyone smiling while she does it.
