Life sure dealt Sassy a blow. After spending years with her former owner, she suddenly found herself in need of a new home when the owner had to move into an assisted living facility in a different state and was not permitted to take Sassy with her. That event left Sassy scared, confused and very uncertain about her future. Luckily, a friend was able to get Sassy into her boarding facility and has asked us to help find a Sassy a new home.

While Sassy is cute as a button and will draw much interest from adopters, she has one character flaw that will limit her easily obtaining a new home. While she can be a wonderful companion, Sassy will make you earn her trust. She has been known to nip at people until she becomes accepting of them (typically within a few days). She is food motivated and seems to make friends much quicker after realizing there's something yummy in the deal. Because of Sassy's nature, we'd suggest no young children in the home and for that home to also be on the calmer side. She does get along great with other dogs and would benefit from sharing a home with other dogs.

Sassy has already been spay and received an update on all of her annual vet care. She's also recently tested negative for heartworms and parasites and been kept up to date on her monthly preventatives. Sassy is accustomed to staying in a crate and may need additional house training once in a new home. A microchip will be provided for her.
