• After being abandoned, Sasha is ready for a fresh start! (wsls.com) — In Fincastle, Sasha—a three-year-old Collie–Australian Shepherd mix—has been waiting months at the League for Animal Protection after being abandoned at a boarding kennel. She's gentle, playful, good with other dogs, and currently on stress-reduction medication that may not be needed in a calm, loving home. Locals can start the adoption process online and browse other pets needing homes.
