Sassy

Sassy is a young BC female who was rescued by a Good Samaritan after Sassy had been at the vet for injuries related to falling out of a truck (twice). While she is mostly healed, she does have some toes that are crooked and nails that are sensitive. She seems to have “phantom” issues with her hip and will “massage” with her mouth, but she’s been through all sorts of testing and medications and we can’t find anything wrong. Currently, her hip is managed somewhat with Gabapentin and Carprofen.

A high energy, high drive dog, Sassy has extreme ball and disc drive, assertive and focused. She needs a secure fence if there is any roads nearby, as she is obsessed with chasing cars along the fence line. She has good recall and walks well on a leash, and is cat friendly. Sassy does NOT play with other dogs – she ignores them and can live happily with them, but she is only focused on her ball and her people. She does love to snuggle with you on the couch or bed. She also loves to swim and will fetch whatever you throw in the water for her.

Sassy has LOTS of “quirks”. She is very car-reactive – barking at them along a fence if she can see/ hear them, or barking at them while riding IN the car. She also digs and barks at dirt, as well as chases her tail at times. Sassy will need a home that can be okay with her obsessive tendencies. But otherwise, Sassy is perfectly well-behaved. She self-entertains, though she would prefer to engage with you, is super smart, and has a fantastic personality. Even with her quirks, Sassy is a loving girl who lives for her ball and snuggling. She has a great personality and disposition and will provide her new family with lots of fun times!
