My story

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

Selma who is showing off her beautiful brindle coat, is about 3 years old and weighs approximately 40 pounds.  She has been fully vetted and is up to date on her vaccinations.  She has also been spayed.  She is currently heartworm positive so she is undergoing treatments in TX, but once they are completed she will be ready to come north to her forever home in the NJ area.

Up until the point of her rescue, Selma spent her days and nights chained up.  Now that she has experienced freedom for the first time, she's enjoying her space and will do best in a house with a yard for her to play in.  She does need to be supervised in the yard as she has dug a few holes in her TX foster's fence.  Overall she is a sweet, friendly, girl who is enjoying receiving love and attention for the first time in her life.

Since she has lead a solitary life, we think she initially will do best in a house without other dogs.  If her adopters would like to add another dog in the future, we recommend a meet and greet first to see how she does.

  • Personality: friendly, affectionate
  • Good with: adults (has not been tested yet with young children).  Will do best as only dog for the start.  Has not been cat tested yet.
  • Training: unknown at this time
  • Estimated date of birth: January 2023
  • Weight: about 40 pounds
  • Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped
  • Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on (once her heartworm treatment is complete).

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
