Sasha Pet Dog
Sasha is a very special little dog. She is very tiny only, weighing 2kgs and absolutely adores children especially those with “special needs”. I am hoping to register her as a Therapy Dog next year. I moved into Stover Court three years ago and I love my retirement flat but it has made all the difference sharing it with little Sasha, my loving and playful little companion.
