Hi, new friend! Sassy here.

I'm learning that the best things in life—naps, snuggles, the occasional perfect ball toss—require patience, and I've got all the time in the world for someone who understands that.

Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.

I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and the occasional zoomie) saved up for the right person.

Born and (almost) raised right here in Plainfield.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Sassy

About Sassy

Are you looking for a small-sized buddy with a BIG heart? Meet the adorable Sassy! Sassy is an 11.8-pound Terrier mix who is approximately two years old. This sweet little girl may be a bit shy and jittery when she first meets you, so she'll need some time, patience, and understanding to feel comfortable. But once Sassy comes out of her shell, get ready for a whole lot of love! She will dote on you, adore you, and happily become your little shadow. Sassy is affectionate, sweet, and has a seriously fun bonus—she LOVES to play ball! You throw it, she'll bring it right back, and when you ask her to drop it, she does! Talk about a perfect little fetch partner. When she's not busy playing, Sassy is more than happy to snuggle with you. A home with previous experience with small or shy dogs would be ideal. Sassy will truly blossom with someone who understands that new people and unfamiliar situations can be a little scary at first. Give her the time she needs, and you'll be rewarded with a devoted companion who loves being by your side. Sassy gets along well with both dogs and cats, and she could happily be your one-and-only or have furry siblings to keep her company. She enjoys a little activity—especially a good game of fetch—but she also appreciates a peaceful home where she can relax, follow her favorite person around, and keep an eye on the world from the window. Think Sassy could be your perfect match? Don't wait too long to reach out! This sweet girl is ready to find the loving home where she can finally blossom. If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .
