Sara may only weigh 24 lbs, but her personality is larger than life. Equal parts silly, sweet, and occasionally just a tiny bit extra (in the best possible way, of course), Sara believes every person she meets is a potential new best friend. She adores attention, thrives on affection, and would love to be included in basically everything her humans or dog friends are doing. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, errands, or absolutely nothing at all, Sara is simply happiest being part of the moment with her people. She loves playing with other dogs, gets excited to make new friends, and has a very enthusiastic “OMG HI!” approach to life. Because of that, Sara is still learning that not everyone wants to be greeted with quite so much excitement, so she needs a family that will help her continue practicing calmer greetings and respecting personal space. But underneath all the playful energy, Sara also knows how to slow down and cuddle. She is incredibly affectionate and happiest curled up close to her people soaking up love and attention. Sara was found wandering as a stray in Long Beach in March 2026 and was later diagnosed with a salivary mucocele, a condition that required specialty corrective surgery. Thanks to sponsorship from the amazing 15/10 Foundation, we were able to bring her into rescue so she could receive the medical care she needed. She has since made a full recovery and is now ready for her next chapter. The shelter originally estimated Sara to be around 3 years old, but based on additional testing with our veterinarian, we believe she is likely closer to 1.5 years old... which honestly explains a lot about her joyful little sprite energy. Sara is house and crate trained, about 90% polished on leash, and absolutely loves car rides. She’s goofy, affectionate, and full of love... the kind of dog who makes ordinary days feel a little happier just by being herself. Smiles are guaranteed around this little one.
