Salt

Date Written: 1/2026 <br/>Updated 5/11/2026<br/>Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound mix<br/>Age: 11 months, birthday August 2025<br/>Weight: 35 lbs<br/>Estimated Weight when fully grown: 45-55 lbs<br/><br/>Meet Salt!<br/><br/>Before coming to B&B, Salt was dumped by her owners and left outside with little to no human contact for over a month as just a young, scared pup. Despite her past, she likes to be close to people whether thats resting her head in your lap, following you around the hose, or cuddling at night. After some time working on it, Salt has made amazing progress with touch and now enjoys pets, belly rubs, and gentle roughhousing with her foster mom. <br/><br/>She also loves to lay her head on your head when she sleeps at night! She may be hesitant with a new person, but she will roll over on her back and wait for belly rubs! She loves to lick your fingers and will always take a treat out of your hand! If she's hesitant, she simply backs herself away and finds her safety zone. She will follow you around the entire yard and house - she's very curious! <br/><br/>Salt has completed a board and train program to help build her confidence. She will come with trainer support to ensure she stays on the right track. She is house trained and is currently working on getting comfortable with leash walking! She knows how to sit and is working on learning additional commands! She rides well in the car and will hop right in!<br/><br/>She does great with all other dogs and doesn't chase cats, and seems to have minimal to no prey drive. She is being fostered in a home with free-roaming chickens directly on the other side of the fence, and she pays no attention to them. She is potty and crate trained, and food is her biggest motivator. She is not a barker and is very quiet.<br/><br/>Salt will need a home with a fenced-in yard so she can adjust at her own pace since she's not yet fully comfortable on leash. She also will need another confident dog in the home. Nothing helps a dog build confidence faster than another dog to show them everything is okay! She would do well with older kids that wont run and chase her!<br/><br/>We offer adoption trials for all of our dogs with no commitment to give them time to adjust. Salt is being fostered in Chester, VA. She is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and on monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of care while in foster. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dogs age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt Salt, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.<br/><br/>Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.<br/><br/>Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
