Salt

Meet Salt!<br/><br/>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 that, she is very loving and will lay against her foster, or rest her head in your lap. She likes to be close to people, although she can still be a little hesitant with touch. However, she does love to lick your fingers and will always take a treat out of your hand! She does tolerate pets if she's distracted with food! If she's hesitant, she does not lash out or bite, 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/>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/>She has an estimated birthdate of mid-August 2025. While she has adjusted very well in her current home, there may be some regression when she moves to a new environment and she likely will be shut down at first. She will need an adopter willing to give her the patience she needs upfront while she adjusts and learns to trust someone new. Because of this, she will need a home with a fenced-in yard so she can adjust at her own pace and not be forced to walk on a leash, which may be scary for her right now. 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 does great with kids, and probably prefers them to adults. After all, a small human has never hurt her before.<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 and monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, and her upcoming spay. To apply to adopt Salt, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.<br/><br/>Spay/Neuter Disclosure:<br/>Spay/Neuter will be scheduled when age-appropriate and is covered in the adoption fee. We require adopters to be within a reasonable distance of Richmond or Virginia Beach in order to complete spay/neuter with our approved clinics.<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.
