Sassy is petite, about 4 pounds, and 11 years old.  She was released by an owner who was potentially going to be homeless.  Prissy is her sister but they are available separately.  Sassy is tan with a cream face.                 

Sassy loves to follow you around the yard.  When  foster mom was tilling a garden, Sassy followed along behind – just to be with mom.   And if you’re working on the computer, Sassy expects to lay on the bed on the desk, alongside you.   Sassy would like a permanent lap to to velcro to.  Sassy gets along with other dogs, unless The Big Dog gets too friendly with her tailpipe — then she spins to give him attitude!   She also likes to chase the Big Dog around the yard. Sassy has a low grade heart murmur that shouldn’t affect her health.  Sassy is generally housebroken, but forgets once in awhile and puddles.  She will use a wee pad. 

Sassy purrs with joy when given kisses and hugs.  She really likes to snuggle in bed, and gives a little nuzzle before settling under the covers.   Sassy just showed mom she knows a trick.  After petting one night, she unexpectedly sat up on her haunches for more!!  She was praised like a champion, and did it again!    

Sassy has been vaccinated, microChipped, spayed and had her teeth cleaned.  She has a luxating patella which has been evaluated by the vet, but she gets around great and doesn’t need surgery. 

Sassy will bring years of love and joy to her new home.
