Sassy #7 | 15-year-old Pomeranian/Corgi mix | A whole lot of love in a little, fluffy package

Meet Sassy, a 14-pound bundle of sweetness with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Her shelter paperwork lists her as a Collie, but one look at this fluffy little lady and you’ll likely agree she’s much more of a Pomgi (Pomeranian/Corgi mix)! At 15 years young, Sassy has perfected the art of enjoying the good life: snuggling with her people, collecting affection, enjoying her favorite treats, and taking in the neighborhood from her stroller. She may be a little chunky, but she’s absolutely adorable and has plenty of love left to give!

Sassy is a low-energy girl who would much rather relax beside her favorite person than run marathons. She enjoys short strolls, car rides, itty-bitty stuffed toys, and all the treats she’s allowed to have. While she’s definitely not looking to become a fitness influencer, she does need some daily activity to help her shed a few pounds and stay healthy. Her signature move is resting her whole body on you and giving you a thousand kisses. She’s also a bit of a mama’s girl and will do her best to keep you in sight, even if navigating the stairs takes a little extra effort.

Sassy is also the PERFECT brewery dog, if that’s your thing! She absolutely loves meeting people and making new friends when she's out and about. With her adorable face and friendly personality, she'll have everyone wrapped around her little paw in no time. Just be prepared for her to steal the show!

Sassy is looking for a very specific type of home: adult-only, quiet, and preferably shared by just one or two people who are home most of the time. She needs to be the only dog in the household. Although she enjoys meeting other dogs in public, she can be territorial about her personal space at home and may become snippy when another dog gets too close. She is also comfortable around cats and generally ignores them. A home without children is a must; Sassy will be happiest with adults who can offer her the calm, predictable environment she needs.

Sassy has some significant medical needs, including severe hip dysplasia, advanced arthritis, mobility challenges, and chronic ear infections. She’s receiving medication to help manage her pain and keep her comfortable, and she has shown improvement with treatment. She also has some hearing loss, so she likely won't respond when you call her name. She appears to be mostly housetrained, though she occasionally uses a potty pad indoors. She doesn't need a crate; a comfortable, safe space to relax is much more her style.

Sassy needs a mellow, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort. With her mobility limitations, a home without lots of stairs would be ideal, but she still wants to be included in her people's daily activities. A cozy bed, gentle strolls, and someone committed to managing her medical needs will go a long way toward keeping her happy. Her foster family has even installed a bed rail to prevent her from accidentally falling off the bed at night!

Sassy may be a little bit of a hot mess, but she's a happy one! She has so much love to give and deserves to spend her remaining years surrounded by people who adore her. If you have a quiet home, lots of time for companionship, and room in your heart for a one-and-only senior girl, Sassy could be just the companion you've been looking for.
