Sarsaparilla (or Sassy, for short!) is a 65 pound spayed female, about 2 years old, who loves running, cuddling, and training. She’s delightfully food motivated and always excited for what’s next.
She’s lived with me (Kenny) and my other dog (Ladybird) ever since she came from MCAS as a stray rescue in January. Unfortunately, she is just too stressed about having to share her home with another dog. Despite mostly getting along fine, she has always been more anxious when the other dog is around and has bitten her.
She’s done well with apartment life! She loves long walks, whether on sidewalks or in the woods. She is more than happy to have a great time running around a field by herself, and is one of the most excited swimmers I’ve ever seen.
The DNA test says she’s an American Bully / Belgian Malinois mix! She acts like it, too – she’s always ready to hop on the couch and lay on me, chase the first squirrel she sees, and is quick to switch into training mode. She’s crate trained and house trained, sleeping in her crate without a problem and she trained herself to eat her meals in there!
We’re still working on her manners. She’s got some reactivity when it comes to strangers, mostly jumping up when people come over and pulling on the leash when she gets surprised by a runner. With care and attention, though, I know she has incredible potential! She needs a home that can give her a safe place to rest and relax, and a human to care for her that can help her to learn she’s got nothing to worry about.
