Rescued from Tunica, Mississippi, Sassie was once elusive but is now ready to embrace a loving home. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes, even those much larger than herself. Whether she's gnawing on her favorite Nyla bones or curling up on the couch with a canine companion, she enjoys the company of her furry friends. Sassie is currently working on potty training and leash walking, as she tends to pull a bit on walks. She's crate-trained and comfortable being left alone for short periods. Potential adopters should be mindful of secure doors and fenced yards to accommodate her curious nature. This sweet and sassy girl is looking for an active family that can match her energy and help her build confidence. If you're ready to embrace a new adventure with Sassie, she would love to meet you!
