Sabrina had Salem the cat. We have Salem the dog. Same mysterious vibes, significantly less judgment from the top of the refrigerator.

She may not talk, practice witchcraft, or offer sarcastic life advice—but she WILL take over your couch.

Honestly, Sabrina got the short end of the stick.

- Crate trained and leash trained
- Social with other dogs
- Shy at first and needs a patient, understanding home
- Can learn to coexist with indoor cats with proper, gradual introductions
- Has a strong chase instinct toward outdoor cats, so a secure environment is important
- Kids 8+ highly recommended
- No apartments

Because she came to us as a stray, she hasn't had much experience with children and is not comfortable with being pulled on, crowded, or having people get directly in her face. For that reason,
