Meet Sassy, a four-year-old Yorkie/Chihuahua mix weighing 13 pounds.

Sassy is a scruffy little sweetheart with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Her journey hasn't been an easy one-she came into our care after she was found injured and was suspected to have been hit by a car or some other trauma although her X-Rays were clear. She was also experiencing episodes that may have been seizures. Thanks to dedicated veterinary care, we were able to stabilize her, and she has spent time recovering under our watchful care.

Today, Sassy is happy, affectionate, and ready to find a family of her own. While she has made incredible progress, she does have lasting neurological effects from her injuries. Sassy has a noticeable wobble when she walks and will likely always have some mobility limitations. She can get around on her own and enjoys exploring at her own pace, but she won't be the dog for long hikes, jogging adventures, or strenuous activities.

What Sassy needs most is a special home that will appreciate her for exactly who she is. She would thrive with someone who can provide a safe environment, patience, and lots of love. In return, Sassy offers endless sweetness, companionship, and the kind of resilience that inspires everyone who meets her.

If you're looking for a dog whose greatest talent is loving her people, and you have room in your heart for a special-needs pup, Sassy may be the perfect match. She has overcome so much and deserves a family that will help her enjoy the happy, comfortable life she's worked so hard to reach.

"Special dogs have a way of finding special people-and Sassy is waiting for hers."
