Tasha needs a home!
Tasha is a real black beauty! She is a chow mix, spayed female, 12 years old. She is a very smart gal and takes only a short time to warm up to people. She gets along well with many dogs and does have preferences. She is residing at Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary and is looking for a special person or family to adopt her. She would also be a good match for a senior person looking for a companion. Please contact Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary at 805-5338.
