About Sassy

Sassy is a small Chihuahua mix with a calm, loving presence, always happiest curled up beside you. She’s got an expressive face and a gentle spirit—someone who really settles in and shows her affection once she feels comfortable. Sassy isn’t doing this alone; she and her best friend Prissy are bonded for life and need to find a home as a pair. The two girls are close, sticking together at every step, so expect a double dose of snuggles and loyalty. Both are adults with a lot of easygoing experience—they’ll choose your lap and a good nap any day. Since Sassy is a newer arrival, there’s still more to learn, but what’s already clear is her capacity to bring real comfort and joy into a home that welcomes both dogs. If you’re someone who enjoys the company of gentle, affectionate companions and likes the sound of twice the love, Sassy and Prissy will fit right in. Sassy was born on February 12, so she’s an Aquarius—never pushy, usually a bit quirky, and always loyal to her close circle. Sassy comes with 30 days of free post-adoption support from Petcademy.org, including direct access to trainers for advice and settling in. Ready to meet the duo who will steal your heart?
