Sal is nervous around chaotic situations and needs a stable home with a routine. No kids, a calm dog maybe ok, but preferably another sighthound with a similar personality - Sal likes dogs who run, not wrestle. Cats are ok. He is slow to warm up to dogs so no dog parks (too much chaos). Sal is not destructive in a home. He is crate trained but won’t need one unless you’re slowly introducing him to a home with cats or another dog. He is not possessive of his things. A routine is a must for him. He thrives on predictability - that’s how he gains his confidence. Sal has had a lot of changes in his life and needs to know that the world is a safe and stable place.
A fenced yard is necessary as Sal won’t be able to go to dog parks, and he really loves to run. No underground or invisible fences. We know it will be hard to find someone with a fence, a routine, no dog or one calm dog, and no kids. We know. But this is what Sal needs, and we do this for the dogs. Really hoping we find him the right home by Thanksgiving that welcomes him and makes him feel safe.
Located near Charlottesville, VA BUT can be adopted to various areas on the east coast.
