Salem's Story
Meet Salem – The Gentle Giant with a Goofy Heart<br/><br/>Hi there, I’m Salem – a sweet, goofy, and smart Great Pyrenees working on learning how to trust and love again. I’ve been in my foster home since November, and wow, what a journey it’s been! I live with other Pyr's here, and I’m doing really well learning the ropes of home life, one paw at a time.<br/><br/>I’m a bit reserved at first with people, but once I trust you? Watch out—I’ll be your loyal companion for life. You’ll know I’ve accepted you when I offer you my big ol’ Pyr paw or gently rest my head between your legs for a massage. Oh, and I definitely talk during playtime—I’ve got lots to say when the toys come out!<br/><br/>I'm a smart boy! I’ve already mastered “sit” and “paw,” and we’re working on “stay,” “down,” and “heel.” I walk nicely on a leash, but I do get excited when I see joggers, kids, or delivery trucks—I’m still learning that not everything needs chasing!<br/><br/>I’m great in the house—totally house-trained and well-mannered. I don’t chew, counter-surf, or make a mess. I’ll sleep wherever I feel safest, usually the kitchen or laundry room, and I love being inside where it’s calm and comfortable. I even respect fences, although I do love a good dig in the yard. What can I say? I’m an outdoor enthusiast at heart.<br/><br/>I’ve come a long way with handling and grooming. Just recently, I let my foster mom brush my whole body—and I even enjoyed it! I still have some boundaries, but I communicate clearly when I’m uncomfortable. Trust is everything to me.<br/><br/>I’d do best in a calm home without kids or cats, and I need slow, respectful introductions to other dogs. I’ve made a strong bond with one of the dogs here, but I’m still learning how to share space with others. A patient, loving family that understands my past and wants to help me grow would be perfect for me.<br/><br/>Oh, and fun fact: after my 'business', I do a happy dance—tail tucked, zoomies activated. My foster mom says it’s one of the cutest things she’s ever seen.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart, a goofy spirit, and a soul that’s learning to shine, I might just be your guy. With time, love, and a little patience, I promise I’ll be the best friend you’ve ever had.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Salem
