My story

MEET SASSY!! Sassy is bonded to Sawyer: https://www.underdogaz.com/animals/#action_0=pet&animalID_0=22162341&petIndex_0=1. Sassy and Sawyer are bonded loving siblings who give each other comfort when sad and kiss every night before sleep. Sawyer is the mostly black pup and Sassy is brown and tan. Personality: Sassy wants to be the female leader in the pack so no other female dogs in the household is a must. While Sassy may not be fond of other alpha female dogs, she does get along with other dogs, including submissive and gentle female dogs or male dogs. When the foster mom’s dogs get into an argument, she just minds her own business and lets other dogs figure their problems out. Sawyer is a loving and protective brother that lets Sassy lead their daily lives. Unlike his sister’s adventurous mindset, he’s more cautious and skittish when it comes to surroundings. Gentle handling and training on confidence can help him thrive. People/Surroundings: Sassy and Sawyer do well with kids that are patient, gentle and understanding of how scared and skittish they could be to sudden movement or strangers. Sawyer could be scared by tall big men but he's very fond of women. It does not mean that he cannot get along with men but it does require patience and gentle introductions for him. Afterwards, he enjoys cuddling and petting from anyone that he knows he’s safe with. Activity: Sassy and Sawyer know how to use pee pads and learned how to potty outside. However, they still require a bit of training on territory marking due to insecurity. Sassy does suffer a mild separation anxiety but patience, training, love and Sawyer’s comfort can help her grow more independence. Sassy and Sawyer love their little walk and outdoor adventures but still require confidence training for car ride and walking/heeling. They both feel more secure being in a crate during car rides. Submit an application to meet this sweet sibling duo today! See a video of Sassy and Sawyer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2lSNkghqFE. If you are interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website for our online application www.underdogaz.com.December 31, 2025, 1:50 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt SASSY, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
