Saleta is a terrier mix in Bloomfield, CT. She’s a young, medium-sized female who has been spayed. With her playful nature and happy disposition, Saleta is house trained and enjoys the company of other dogs, though she needs a cat-free home and benefits from structure and patient training.

About Saleta

Saleta is a young terrier mix with a big personality packed into her 32-pound frame. She greets everyone with a wide, infectious smile, and her youthful looks make her especially charming. Saleta’s ideal environment is a quiet, single-family home—apartments or busy spaces aren’t her style. She loves time with adult humans and enjoys the companionship of other dogs, but needs slow, proper introductions to new dog friends. Dog-savvy kids over 12 are fine, but Saleta isn’t suited for homes with cats. Her personality is the perfect blend of energetic play and lazy couch cuddles. She’s happiest when she can snuggle up after a romp in the yard. Saleta can become overstimulated around lots of people, leashed dogs, or busy situations outside. After a 4-week board and train program, she has improved her ability to manage excitement, but she still needs a confident adopter willing to continue her training and maintain a structured, consistent routine. House training and crate training come naturally to her, and while leash walking is still a work in progress, she’s eager to learn—especially if treats are involved. If you want a dog that brings both sparkle and sweetness to your life, Saleta is ready and waiting for that dedicated owner to help her settle in for the long haul. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
