My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Why Choose me?
Sassy is a scared little girl that is available only to rescue. Once she is comfortable with you, she is happy and loves for you to hold her. She does not, however, like meeting new people, so it takes some time for her to let you get close. When I first met Sassy, she was in the arms of one of the officers of Animal Control, and she was very content. That was just what Sassy needed. In her run, she barks at you and runs to the back of her kennel which is where I had to snap her pictures. Sassy is missing some of her bottom teeth. She has a pretty black with tan long haired coat. Sassy needs a rescue soon. She needs to be in a place where she feels safe with people familiar with dachshunds and willing to give Sassy the time she needs to bond with them.

SASSY IS RESCUE ONLY! Please contact a local rescue if you are interested in adopting this little girl.


Please refer to a dog's ID # when calling animal control about a dog.
Time is of the essence as these dogs are at a high-kill shelter.
