My story

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

*Salma is being fostered in Puerto Rico, and her adoption fee covers all her vetting / care to date (including her spay) as well as flying her to an airport near her adoptive family. Apply Today at: prdf.org

Meet SALMA!!!
Salma has such a wonderful, patient story to tell about starting off as a scared, semi-feral dog that was caught by The Puerto Rico Dog Fund (PRDF) as a TNR and we couldn't let this sweet soul go back to the jungle. So, we kept her, and invested in her development to trust humans, start a routine, intro to new dogs, and learn that life is awesome to share with a two-legged person she loves.

Salma loves other dogs, is respectful of cats, is tolerant of kids (although loud or sudden child play makes her nervous), is now leash and recall trained, and is very treat motivated - so she continues to progress nicely. She is quite cautious with new situations / people, but once you earn her trust, she is EXTREMLY loyal (without being protective or scary); she simply wants to be near her "rock" of a person. She is doing AMAZING as we transitioned her from our group shelter area to an individual foster home. Her foster mama, Adi, and her foster brothers Oso and Petey (Petey was also a PRDF dog last year!) are teaching her something new every day - and Salma is reminding those doggie boys how to train and listen, lol! We seriously joked that Foster Adi was sending us "stunt dog videos" of Salma, because we didn't recognize how QUICKLY she progressed as a "home dog" once in Adi's care. She has blossomed into a GREAT pup.

Are you a patient, quiet home that wants a loyal dog to sit at your feet while you WFH and then go on long walks with a sneaky treat in your palm? Salma may be right for you!
