About Salsa

Meet Salsa, an adorable 9-12 month old chihuahua girl looking for her forever home. This sweet pup is not your typical chihuahua; she has a charming personality and loves to cuddle. Whether she's on a porch swing soaking up the sun or playing with her friends, she brings joy wherever she goes. Salsa was rescued after being surrendered with three other pups, all in poor condition. Thankfully, she has had the time to heal and will be spayed soon. She’s doing great with house and crate training, which is a big plus. To adopt Salsa, please note that she needs a fenced-in yard and you’ll need to travel to Athens, AL for a meet-and-greet. The adoption fee is $250, which includes her spay, microchip, vaccinations, and plenty of socialization. The volunteers at The Long Way Home are eager to help you get started with the adoption process! Click apply to start the adoption process.
