Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sassy came into the rescue from a local animal control where she had spent almost six years (!). She has spent quite a long time with a foster-based trainer, decompressing, relaxing, and learning the fine points again of living in a home.
These days Sassy is a happy girl! ❤
Now it's time for her to take that next step on the road of her brand new life, and find a fantastic foster or forever home! At about 9 years old, she is so deserving of a home where she can enjoy her golden years and love and be loved!
Sassy can be cautious for a few minutes when she meets new people. She takes her cues from the humans - if you are confident, she will be your best friend within a few minutes 🙂
Sassy needs to be an only pet and to live in an adult home.
She is house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and knows her basic - and some advanced - commands.
Sassy is a playful girl who absolutely loves toys! She would love a fenced yard where she can enjoy the outdoors in nice weather and play with her toys and her family.
She loves car rides and is well behaved in the car.
Sassy is somewhat more comfortable with women. It takes her a bit longer to warm up to men than to women.
We are looking for a family for Sassy with experience with the breed, who will work with her and and make sure the transition is a smooth one.
Having spent most of her life in a shelter, Sassy now has welcomed all of the comforts of living in a home. We are determined to set this girl up for success ❤
