Meet Sassy, everyone! 💖 This delightful 2-year-old Chihuahua mix is not just any pooch; she's a survivor with a journey that will tug at your heartstrings! Rescued from a life on the streets, Sassy faced incredible challenges as a puppy left to fend for herself in a homeless encampment. Can you imagine? She had to figure out how to find food scraps and shelter all on her own, without ever knowing the warmth of human affection. But oh, how resilient she is! 😍 When she first came to the rescue, we aimed to get this little lady spayed, but we uncovered something surprising during her intake: she had a healed fracture in her pelvis. We may never know what happened, but it speaks volumes about her strength and spirit! 💪 Adjusting to foster care was no walk in the park for Sassy. Trusting humans didn’t come easily to her, but with the right amount of patience, love, and consistency, Sassy slowly began to blossom! Living in a home with both dogs and cats, she’s made great strides, although she would thrive best as the only dog or perhaps with calm, mellow feline friends. After all, she does have a little guard dog in her when it comes to food and toys—she hoards those from her furry pals, but never from her humans! Now, here's the scoop: Sassy is not your typical doggie. She’s sensitive and startled by loud noises or new faces, so she needs a home that understands her unique background and respects her boundaries. In an environment where she feels safe, get ready for the sweet side of Sassy to shine! ☀️ When she opens up, she adores playtime with her bones and loves to share quiet, cozy moments with her special human. Sassy is on the lookout for an adopter who is patient and experienced. Someone who will cherish her for exactly who she is and help her navigate the world with the love she truly deserves. Now is the time to make a real difference in this gorgeous girl’s life!
