Story
Name: Salome
Sex: Female
Color: Black & White
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: 07/29/17
Weight: 46lbs
Large Dog Friendly: She is still a little afraid, but she would much rather be around the size dogs as herself.
Small Dog Friendly: Yes - she just doesn't know what to think of them yet - we are introducing her to more smaller breeds via neighbors and she does well with them so far.
Cat Friendly: Unknown
Crate Trained: She is trained, she does still need positive reinforcement to get into the kennel - (lead training into the crate but once she is in there she is ok) she does howl ever so often when she is in the kennel so not ideal for Apartment living situations.
Housebroken: yes, she is a former breeder dog. From time to time, she has accidents, but they are easily corrected. She is much better now!
Energy Level: Mellow/Chill
Reaction to New People: Howler but friendly.
Kid Friendly: A home without young children would be best for Salome, 12 and older would be ideal. Loud or fast movements are scary for her.
Training: walk on leash, inside. Still working on sit, stay and lay.
Grooming Needs: weekly brushing - she loves the vacuum brush.
Fence: 5 ft or privacy recommended!
Solo or Siblings: She is being fostered with a 7-month-old, they get along, but a little too much for her. Highly recommend a sibling that is 3+ years old. She would also do just fine Solo.
From the Foster: Salome’s Journey 💕
Salome has truly come a long way. When she first came into care, she didn’t know what love was, what it meant to be a dog, or how to feel safe in a home. With time, patience, and gentle care, she’s started to discover the simple joys she once missed out on.She enjoys her walks and prefers to stay right by your side rather than pull ahead. She’s learned how cozy a dog bed can be and now loves curling up for naps. The kennel isn’t her favorite, but she’ll go in if she needs to.
In the mornings, she greets the day with a little bark or happy chatter—just to be noticed and loved. Once she gets that bit of attention, she’s content. She’s also good at letting you know when it’s time to go outside, either by sitting by the door or giving a soft bark.
Salome still has a journey ahead of her, but she’s shown so much strength and heart already. We believe she’ll make a wonderful companion for the right family—whether as a solo dog or with an older, calm sibling. She’s a bit shy around children at first and appreciates having her quiet space and rest time. She’s a gentle soul with so much love to give. Every now and then she has playful little moments that make us smile—still learning that it’s okay to be carefree. We’re so proud of how far she’s come, and can’t wait to see where her journey leads next. ❤️
