Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is Cookie, a 6 year old Chihuahua mix weighing 9 pounds. There may be some Pug in her DNA due to that cute little underbite. Or, maybe she just needs some doggie orthodontia? She takes a while to warm up to strangers and needs someone who will take this into consideration and not expect a waggy tail and sloppy kisses right away. Cookie loves to sleep on the bed and rolls into a little ball. She is crate and leash trained, a good eater, anxious to please. Cookie has a low-maintenance coat which just needs to be brushed. She is alert and does respond to knocks and doorbells. Contact salemdogs@aol.com for information about how to adopt Cookie.
A special note from Salem Dogs to potential adopters: People are amazed when they get a quick response from SD. Evidently the norm is quite a delay before hearing back from the rescue group. There are a few things you can do to set yourself apart and get a quick response. 1. register your search and when a dog that matches your criteria is posted, you will be notified. Get back immediately! 2. in your first note, tell the rescue group about yourself, family, home, yard, fence, other pets, work situation, veterinarian, and why you are interested in this particular dog.
We hear so often that "the dog I wanted was taken and there was a waiting list." Improve your chances of being selected as a 10-star home for the dog by providing information. DON'T expect a response from an email that says "Is this dog still available?" or "How much is this dog?" Those are statements that indicate you are surfing and are not really serious about adopting a dog.
