About Salsa

The staff can't get enough of her joyful energy and her ability to bounce back from a tough start. She’s talkative, resilient, and brings a little extra happiness wherever she lands. Salsa needs to be the only dog in the home and prefers a quieter, adult-only environment where she can soak up all the attention. Ready to see her best tail wag yet? What are you waiting for?
