Montclair Times: Sasha finds a home. Then came the happy day, in June of this year, when Sasha was finally adopted by a family–Ken and Sarah Walker of Wharton. ‘It was one of the nicest things that happened here in quite a while,’ Young said.
Hey, that’s us. 
When we adopted Sasha earlier this summer, the staff at the shelter made us promise to let them know how she was doing. So, about two weeks ago, Sarah had sent off some cute photos of Sasha to the kind people over at PAWS. They weren’t the best photos that we had, but we thought they helped convey how much fun we were having with our new pet.
A week later, we get a message on the answering machine from a photographer who wanted to come take our photo with Sasha. Apparently, the email we had sent to the shelter had made its way over to the Montclair Times–they wanted to do a community piece on our adoption! After a few phone calls trying to plan logistics with the photographer, they finally decided to use one of the email photos. We gave some quotes to Mary Anne to run, and there you have it.
Sasha has been a huge blessing to our family. Sarah, who absolutely loves animals, has been so happy with a dog to take care of and love. Despite the bad press that pit bulls have, Sasha has been great with people. She loves hanging out in the park, meeting new people, and watching TV (much to our surprise!).

What a great story! Pitbulls are great pets regardless of their reputation! It’s often their owners who turn them into monsters, but after my parents got Tonka (a runt of a pit at that) I realized how these dogs are just the epitomy of love and devotion! Sasha is a great dog, and so much fun at that! The story made Beck cry when she read it! We’re so happy for you all!

aha, finally my comment will post. So proud of my newsworthy little bro and sis. I also came across some other dog news of import…

K & S,
Such an awesome story. Good luck with Sasha!

Ken and Sarah,
I was a PAWS volunteer before moving to England earlier this year. Sasha was one of my favorites – the ones that get deep in your heart and stay there – so I was delighted to hear that you’ve given her a loving home. Good on ya! (As they say here in the UK.) She looks so happy, and I’m thrilled to hear her skin has cleared up. Please give Sasha a great big snuggle for me!
Warmest regards,
Leslie, former PAWS volunteer
This is the DMV calling. You do know you must return those license plates don’t you?
That is all.
