Story
**Because of Sally's behavior issues, she is not a first come, first serve adoption. Interested parties will need to speak with our behavior coordinator to discuss the match.**
Meet Sally, a beautiful 4-year-old Australian Shepherd who's been through a lot but is finally ready for a new beginning. When she first came to us, Sally was emaciated and in poor condition, the result of a lack of proper care. With time, patience, and the love of our dedicated staff and foster families, she's blossomed into a healthy, spirited dog, though she still takes her time trusting new faces.
Sally can be nervous when meeting new people and animals, so she'll need a gentle, slow introduction to both. Once she feels safe, she warms up and shows off her sweet, affectionate nature.
Sally would thrive in a quiet home with low foot traffic, where she can feel secure. She does well with calm, respectful dogs after a careful introduction, though her history with cats is unknown. If there are kids in the home, we recommend they be gentle and patient, as Sally's confidence grows best in calm, supportive settings.
If you're ready to help Sally feel safe and loved, reach out to learn more about this special adoption process. Sally's journey deserves a happy ending, and she just might be waiting for you.
