Story
🐾 Hi! My name is Selma! 🐾
I was surrendered to a shelter in Arkansas after I was found underneath the front stairs of someone’s home. It was the warmest, driest place I could find that was close to food. ❤️
People haven’t always been kind to me, so I’m still relearning that humans can be pretty wonderful.
My new foster house is fun! There are lots of places for me to hide, and I really like being in a dark space with something over my head. It reminds me of home.
When I first got here, I wasn’t quite sure what to do. I was also very careful not to get too close to the big human. Can you believe he actually picked me up ALL the way off the ground? The nerve!
There are two other dogs here, too, and we have lots of fun playing! I’m not super mouthy like some dogs can be when they play. I prefer to PUNCH! 🥊 While I’m not much of a mouthy player, I do enjoy a good chew. Now that I’m getting comfortable here, I’m more likely to help myself to things I find interesting to chew on. I’m still learning which things are okay and which things aren’t. After all, I’m only a year old!
The big foster human says he wants to “fatten me up,” whatever that means. I’m sure it’s just another one of those weird human things. Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I’ve been eating REALLY well during my time here. All kinds of food! One of the other dogs even likes to leave her breakfast out for me. She’s so nice! 😋
🙋🏼 Big Human here! Selma came to us very frightened, extremely skinny, and with very little energy. After giving her a few days to decompress, sniff around, and fill her belly, she started to come out of her shell.
She does wonderfully with my two dogs. They run and play together, and she seems to take their cues well when they communicate with her. She’s also absolutely wonderful with my daughter and her friends!
We’ve been crating her overnight, and she’s done well with that, too. As long as she has a chew or a Kong to keep her occupied, she’s happy and content.
🌸 Selma has already made so much progress, and we’re excited to see her continue to blossom. She deserves a home where she can feel safe, loved, and never have to worry about finding her next meal again.
