Story
Meet Sassy — a 1‑year‑old Maltese mix with a heart as soft as her snuggles. This sweet girl came to us from Georgia after her owner fell ill and could no longer care for her. While her story has some sadness in it, Sassy herself is pure sunshine — gentle, affectionate, and endlessly eager to love.Sassy is snuggly beyond compare. If you sit on the ground, she considers that a personal invitation to climb right into your lap and stay there as long as you’ll let her. She adores people, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and tends to be very submissive around bigger pups — she’s a little lady with a big heart.She’s still learning her basic skills like sit and down, but she makes up for it with enthusiasm, sweetness, and a willingness to try. With a bit of patience and positive reinforcement, she’ll pick things up quickly.Sassy is the kind of dog who wants to be close, wants to be loved, and wants to give that love right back. If you’re looking for a gentle, cuddly companion who will happily curl up in your lap and melt your heart, Sassy might be your perfect match.Sassy's adoption fee is $250, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
