My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Salvo is an adorable young boy who ran out of time in a rural shelter. His rescuer named him Salvo (from the Latin salvus "safe, unhurt"). Salvo made it to Baltimore after a long trip trough a bad snowstorm.




This is what the shelter told us about him: "This is a sweet young boy!! He is black and silver and very soft spoken and sweet. He is well behaved and is sad at the shelter."


Salvo is a sweet, very friendly and affectionate little guy who enjoys attention (in particular rolling on his back to be petted, as the photos show). He is smaller than the average German Shepherd, weighs around 50lbs, a handsome dark sable (his coloring is much like Eastern European working sables) in a smaller package. He is very smart and well behaved in his foster home - no accidents yet. He LOVES to play with other dogs. Salvo learned the "sit" and "down" commands in no time and we are working on his leash manners. He is very athletic and energetic, he can jump up vertically very high when he wants attention (but he does not jump on people). He would make a great obedienece or agility dog as he is eager to please. He is crate trained and enjoys car rides and going for long walks in the park. Salvo LOVES kids - as the photos suggest - and will make a wonderful family companion to a lucky family.



Salvo is neutered, up-to-date on shots, heartworm negative, on prevention and very happy and healthy.
