Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application LOCATED IN FINKSBURG, MD HEADLINER: Sweet Sassy the Newfie. HISTORY: Sassy came from Kentucky to Maryland on 10/19. She was a tad underweight but has a great appetite and has been putting back on some weight. She was reported to be 2 years old at the shelter she was turned into. PERSONALITY: Sassy is a sweet Newfie who wants to be loved. She seeks snuggles and pets from her foster parents and wants to be near them. She enjoys romping around her yard and laying in the sunshine but also enjoys snoozing on the couch or on a dog bed. She has short spurts of playful energy followed by long naps. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: walking around the yard, laying in the grass, snoozing on the couch, following people around the house and the yard, snuggling, eating treats and meals, dreaming of her forever home. MEDICAL ISSUES: recovering from hook worm. She completed the first round of medication and will complete one more in a couple of weeks. She was spayed on 10/18/24. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Sassy has been hot and cold with her foster brother. She can be temperamental around him and wants to assert her dominance. To be clear, there has been no aggression, but she has been very dominant around him. She would be best in a home with a submissive dog or no other dogs. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Again, Sassy is so, so sweet! She is always looking to be pet and loved on. She is low maintenance energy-wise and is fine just taking a stroll around the yard and plopping down or coming back inside.
