About Sassy

Sassy is a vibrant 4- to 5-year-old Basenji/Akita mix who truly lives up to her name. With a charming blend of brains and personality, she adds a sprinkle of sass to every day. Her ideal spot? Right next to you on the comfiest chair or couch, ready to snuggle and share quiet moments. This playful girl has a mix of high energy and lazy days. She enjoys everything from games to lounging around, and she often rolls over for attention or flirts with boy dogs. Though she’s good with people, introductions to very young children should be thoughtful. While she welcomes male dogs, her feelings about female dogs are still being explored. Sassy is kennel/crate trained and is learning to adjust to vet visits after a little initial trepidation. Ultimately, she's looking for someone who appreciates her big personality, enjoys playtime, and loves to share space. Beneath the sass, there's a sweet girl ready for love. Stop by to see if Sassy is the princess for you! Give her a cozy spot and your affection—she's ready to make your days brighter!
