About Salty

Salty is a small, striking white mix with obvious Pomeranian influence—her thick, long coat makes that pretty clear. There’s likely some papillon and maybe even a bit of chihuahua in her too, but it’s anybody’s guess. One thing for sure: she sheds quite a bit, so be ready for regular grooming. Salty came to the rescue after her previous home struggled with her housetraining and occasional vocal streak. If you’re looking for a lively companion and don’t mind putting time into training, Salty could be a good match. She gets along well with both children and other dogs, making her a versatile fit for many households. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
