Sassy D69989 - Collie and Wirehaired Terrier Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Sassy, and I'm from Texas!

This scruffy cutie will steal your heart with just one look. She is sweet, calm, playful and goofy. She loves to be near her people and will follow you wherever you go.

She's a fast learner and is already mastering potty training, 'sit', and 'lay'. She loves her crate and rarely whines when put in there for bedtime.

Sassy is shy and nervous at first when meeting new people or put in new situations, but with some consistent training she is starting to come out of her shell. She does well with dogs as long as the proper steps are taken to slowly introduce them.

Sassy will need a calm, patient and understanding family to help her learn that the world is not so scary! Sassy has not yet played with young kids, so older/calmer children would be preferred. It's not known how she would do with cats.

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Wirehaired Terrier is a charming and energetic dog breed known for its shaggy coat and lively personality. Originating from terriers bred for hunting small game, they are intelligent, spirited, and make loyal companions. Their wiry coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, and they thrive on ample exercise and mental stimulation. With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.
