Salvador’s story starts on the streets of Puerto Rico, where he was found barely hanging on after a rough bout with botulism. It left him paralyzed, but he pulled through with medical care and pure determination. As if that wasn’t enough, Salvador then survived distemper during his recovery. He’s been dealt a hard hand, but Sal has made it—he’s healthy, happy, and ready to shed his past for a new start. At about 3.5 years old and 36 lbs, Salvador is an easygoing, resilient companion. He loves playing with other dogs and is comfortable in homes with or without older children. Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, Salvador is set up for a fresh chapter. He will be flown to Newark, NJ upon adoption, and his adopter will need to meet him there for pickup on adoption day. Give Salvador the comfortable life he deserves, and you’ll get a loyal, affectionate friend in return. Click apply to start the adoption process.
