About Sally

Meet Sally!

Sally is a professional cuddler and a devoted love bug who firmly believes personal space is overrated. If your dream dog wants to be as close to you as physically possible, you've just found her! Sally was found living under a trailer with her puppies after being neglected. She wandered the neighborhood searching for food to keep herself and her babies alive. Kind neighbors stepped in to help feed her, and eventually, they asked if they could take her in, and thankfully, her former owner agreed. Now Sally is safe in a loving foster home, and those difficult days are finally behind her.

Sally is pure, unconditional love wrapped up in a 30-pound package. She is wonderfully affectionate and can never get close enough to her people. She adores everyone she meets, especially children. Sally also gets along well with other dogs, though she appreciates slow, proper introductions. Once she's comfortable, she's happy to make friends. That said, she'd be just as content as your one and only, because people are truly her favorite. Like the smart cattle dog she is, Sally learns quickly. She picked up potty training and leash walking with ease. Although we estimate Sally is only about a year old, she has an old soul. Her rough start in life seems to have given her a calm, appreciative outlook. Sally will happily join you for hikes, road trips, neighborhood walks, or any adventure you have planned, but coming home afterward to curl up on the couch with her favorite people is just as exciting in her eyes. Sally has spent enough of her life wondering where her next meal or safe place to sleep would come from. Now all she needs is a family who will love her as fiercely as she'll love them.
