Shasta is waiting for you at Doggie Protective Services in Sun City, CA 92585. Adoption fee: $500 Meet Shasta: A Loyal Little Companion with a Big Heart Shasta is a 3 year old Yorkie-type Terrier mix with a striking coat and an even more striking personality. Her beautiful fur— white with black-tipped strands that fluff up like feathers in the breeze— turns heads wherever she goes. But what truly makes Shasta special is her devotion to her people. She’s affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she’s near you, whether that means cuddling on the couch, following you from room to room, or simply lounging by your side after a fun day. Shasta is a dog who forms strong bonds and gives her whole heart to her family. With guidance, patience, and consistency, she has all the makings of an incredibly rewarding companion. Daily Routine & Lifestyle Shasta thrives on a predictable routine and enjoys a balance of activity and relaxation. She typically wakes up around 6:30 a.m. and politely lets you know she needs to go outside by whining at the bedroom door and doing her adorable little “tippy-tappys.” After her morning potty break, she enjoys some quiet lounging time before breakfast, which is served between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m.— and she greets every meal with joyful enthusiasm, bouncing up and down in excitement. After breakfast, Shasta enjoys a cozy nap followed by playtime with her toys in the living room. Late mornings often include a walk to the park for exercise, which she looks forward to with great excitement whenever the leash comes out. During the day, she happily relaxes at home, and if the back door is open, she’ll take herself outside to potty, soak up the sunshine, or nibble on a bit of grass. Dinner is usually around 5:30–6:00 p.m., once again celebrated with tail wags and happy hops. Evenings are spent relaxing on the couch, playing with toys, and enjoying time with her people before bedtime. Personality: From Cautious to Devoted When Shasta first ar
