Congrats on your new puppy, but I'm sorry Sasha has a rash! Thank you for the picture, it's very helpful. This could be puppy pyoderma, which is a skin infection. Puppies have very sensitive skin, and they can be prone to bacterial skin infections. Puppy pyoderma is quite common amongst young puppies, is usually not serious, and can easily be treated by your vet. Another cause could be fleas. I can't make a definitive diagnosis without seeing her in person, so it's good you are trying to find her a vet. Finding her a vet is not only good for this problem, but also for getting her vaccine course completed, making sure she is healthy now and in the future, and having there for any potential problems that may arise. Once you find a vet, please make an appointment for her to be seen to get this diagnosed and treated. I hope this helps!
