About Sallie

Sallie is a sweet, gentle pup who showed up as a stray and is now ready for a loving home. She enjoys cuddling on laps and has a playful side that comes out when she’s comfortable. Fetching balls and chasing the water from the hose is her idea of fun. While she may initially seem shy around new dogs, she warms up quickly and loves to play with them. Her affectionate nature shines through as she leans against you for hugs and gives endless kisses. Though she’s still in her chewing phase, redirection with toys helps her learn. A quirky trait of Sallie's is her playful tendency to leap into the air, expecting to be caught, whether you’re sitting or standing. She’s also friendly with cats and children, making her a great family companion. Sallie is currently fostered near Beaumont, TX, and thrives on attention.
