Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher Dogs Available for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Meet Sassy



At 14 years young, Sassy proves age is just a number and naps are a lifestyle. This adorable Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix is under 20 lbs of pure personality wrapped in a sleek black coat.



Sassy's favorite hobby? Supervising her humans at all times. If you move, she moves. Bathroom break? She'll consider coming too. Laundry? She'll gladly oversee operations. She believes personal space is overrated and cuddles are mandatory.



She does well with calm dogs, is good with kids, friendly with everyone she meets, and is potty trained like the classy lady she is. She hasn't lived with cats, so feline friendships are still a mystery.



When she's not shadowing her people, Sassy enjoys the finer things in life: cozy blankets, warm laps, and championship-level napping.



If you're looking for a tiny best friend with a big heart, low-key energy, and expert snuggle skills, Sassy is ready to retire into your arms.
