Sasha (ID# A0980134), a 3-year-old female American Staffordshire terrier, was dropped at L.A.’s North Central animal shelter by her owners on Christmas Eve. Despite that setback, Sasha remains ‘a very sweet and special dog,’ according to the shelter’s New Hope program coordinator, Anna Hernandez. But shelter staff worry that she may be overlooked by potential adopters because there are so many pit bulls and pit mixes who share her common coloring in the city’s shelters.

About Sasha: She’s gentle, well-behaved and already knows a number of commands, the beneficiary of private training sessions from a professional trainer, Hernandez says. She’s already house-trained, can sit, stay, shake hands, roll over and knows the commands ‘up’ and ‘down.’ At 54 pounds, she’s on the large side of medium, and since she’s already been spayed, she can go home immediately with her new owner.
