Sassy is originally from the streets of Chefchauen. In October 2021, the authorities in Chefchaouen decided to deal with the problem of stray dogs by violently deporting them from Chefchaouen to remote locations with no access to food nor water. We managed to get into contact with one of the dog catchers, and a few vans of dogs were brought to us rather than these remote locations where they would be left to die. Sassy was one of the lucky dogs in those vans.
