Story
Meet Bear, a striking, intelligent, and affectionate 5-year-old Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd mix who is ready to find a forever home where he can thrive. Bear is beautiful, smart, crate-trained, and full of energy. Bear has been raised around other dogs, including small breeds, and gets along well with them. He has excellent herding instincts and needs space to run, so a home with a fenced yard is ideal. Bear loves to play, is very loyal, and thrives with active owners who understand shepherd breeds. We’re rehoming him because we travel often now and want him to have the consistent love and attention he deserves. Although we are not asking for a rehoming fee, we ask for a proof of donation to any shelter of your choice for any amount. We’ll also be doing a background check to ensure he finds a safe, loving home. He’s an amazing dog and deserves the best.

Story
Hi there! I am the perfect mix of playful and mellow. I love walks, toys, and playtime, but I’m just as happy snuggling up at the end of the day! I get along wonderfully with people, kids, other dogs, and even cats! I already know my basic obedience and enjoy showing it off. I would be just as happy having a friendly dog sibling to share adventures with, or being the only dog in an active family who wants to make me the center of their world. Through no fault of my own, I'm looking for a new home, but I have been loved and cared for, and I'm so ready to bring that same love to my forever family. The most important thing to know? I am loyal, affectionate, and ready to be someone’s best friend for life. I will bring you a wagging tail, happy kisses, and lots of laughter. If you have been looking for a gentle, social, and fun loving companion who will fit right into your family, I think we are meant for each other. Come meet me. I cannot wait to start my happily ever after with you!

Story
If you want a reason to smile every day, look no farther! This goofy boy is Chance. He is a 9-year-old boy that believes age is just a number. He will zoomie around your yard and is always ready for a good walk, or a run through the rain! More importantly, he loves to cuddle on the couch and is just as happy cuddling as he is going out. He LOVES taking his foster kids to school every day and gets along well with his dog foster brother and foster cats. He is crate trained and would be ok without a yard as long as he gets a few walks a day. He is fully potty trained, and will bark to go out.

Story
Meet Lorrie! She is a 3 year old terrier mix. She ended up in a small rural shelter with her puppies and they were all adopted, but she was not. She is the zoomie queen, an expert cuddler, an loves to play. She is shy at first, but once she warms up to you, you will be her favorite person in the world. She is also very brave despite being shy, so would love a family she trusts that would take her out on adventures. Lorrie is heartworm positive and started treatment, so is currently looking for a foster to adopt situation. We will pay for all of her medical bills until she is ready to be formally adopted, but she can move in with your family now to become an immediate member of your family! Will you give this sweet girl a chance to complete your family? Application is available on mysaltydog.com

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mixed Breed (Medium)

Story
Meet Holly! Holly was in a high kill shelter and on "the list" when they discovered she was pregnant. She was allowed to have her puppies, but lost a few the first night before we could get to her. With the help of our wonderful foster team, she raised 6 beautiful puppies and now it is time for her forever after! Before getting into the standard information about her, there is one thing you must know about her to give her her best home- she is a pretty princess and loves to play dress up. This girl will let you put clothes on her all day to help her feel pretty, and will be sad when you take them off. She loves to feel like the perfect beautiful princess she is! She is good with other dogs if she has a slow introduction, but once she becomes their friend will play with them all day. She has done well with her foster family's young children and cats, and is crate trained. She is learning her manners, including how to sit, lay, and shake. She responds well if you tell her to stop doing something. She is food aggressive with other animals so needs to be fed separately, however is not possessive of anything with people or of her toys so it is easy to manage. She is looking for her perfect partner to play dress up with her all day! Our adoption application is at www.mysaltydog.com. Holly will be spayed prior to adoption, is HW negative, and up to date on shots. Her medical will be complete around Thanksgiving, but you can take her home before that if you want to do a foster to adopt.
