Sal

Meet Side Eye Salvatore <br/><br/>Side Eye Salvatore, Sal, has the kind of face that says, Ive seen some things, and honestly, he has. This sweet potato of a dog was found on the streets of Detroit and ended up at Detroit Animal Control before making his way into foster care. He is estimated to be four years old, and currently weighs right at 50 lbs. <br/><br/>Salvatore is still learning that the world can be safe. Everything is new to him, including doors, house routines, crates, and all the strange little things most dogs take for granted. He can be very skittish and may freeze when he gets nervous, especially going through doorways or when something surprises him. He walks okay on a leash, but he needs patience, encouragement, and someone who understands that bravery takes time.<br/><br/>He is not a big fan of crates right now, so we are gently working on making crate time a positive thing. He is also still working on house training. He does sometimes pee in the house, and we are still learning what his signal is when he needs to go outside. Like everything else with Salvatore, this will take patience, routine, and kindness.<br/><br/>Once he feels safe, Salvatores sweetness starts to shine. He is opening up more every day and has even started getting excited when his people come home. When he gets happy, he may breathe deeply in a way that sounds a little like a growl, but it is not aggression. That is just Salvatore getting excited and trying to figure out how to express himself.<br/><br/>Most of the time, he is the definition of a couch potato. He has not shown any aggression toward the dogs in his foster home. He has not been tested with cats, but based on his gentle, unsure personality, we think he may do well with slow, careful introductions.<br/><br/>Salvatore is not looking for a loud, chaotic home. He needs a patient adopter who will let him move at his own pace, celebrate the small wins, and understand that love may look like helping him through a doorway, gently working on crate confidence, learning his potty routine, and watching him nap like a baked potato.<br/><br/>He may have started as a scared little side-eye on the streets, but Salvatore is ready to learn what home feels like. He is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and current on vaccines. <br/><br/>Adoption App:<br/>https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/40532/generic
