About Sally

Sally’s past wasn’t easy—she came from a home crowded with other dogs and arrived at the shelter underweight. Now she’s filled out to a healthy 40 lbs and is thriving. Sally gets along with most other dogs, but after her early experiences, she doesn’t like to share food with them; she shows no food aggression toward people. What stands out about Sally is how affectionate she is—she’s transformed from a shy girl into a complete snuggle bug, always ready for a cuddle or playtime. Her playful side shines when she meets new people, and she’ll happily join in for dress-up or any attention you’re willing to give. Sally is suited for both apartment life with regular walks or a home with a fenced yard. She’s house trained, up to date on her vaccinations, and spayed. If you’re looking for a truly resilient and loving companion who’s ready to be doted on, Sally is waiting for her match in Westminster, MD. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
