My story

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

Meet Rita! Rita's owner sadly passed away and she ended up at the shelter. We saw what a treasure she is and scooped in to help her along her journey to her new home!

Miss Rita is all sass. She will tell it like it is, and reminds us of one of the Golden Girls! She is exceptionally sweet, and just wants a warm bed she can lay on all day or a sun spot she can lounge in!

Rita is crate trained, doggy door trained, and loves to go on short walks. She has some arthritis, but it does not stop her (just means she would be better in a home that does not walk miles every day). With a slow introduction she is good with other dogs, and does not seem to mind cats.

Before going home, we will spay her, clean her teeth, and make sure she is up to date on everything so she can focus on spending her golden years with her new family!

She is eligible for our Golden Paws program, which seeks to pair senior dogs with senior citizens in either an adoption or long term foster scenario. Please reach out to us for more details! Our applications/information are on our website at www.mysaltydog.com!

Additional adoption info

Our application process is meant to provide enough background that we can ensure the dog is going to a good home, but also be flexible enough that people can get their dog quickly.

Go meet their pets

We are foster based, and are happy to coordinate times for private introductions to our dogs. We will post events we are attending with our dogs on our website and social media.
