Selma's Story

Selma who is showing off her beautiful brindle coat, is about 3 years old and weighs approximately 40 pounds. She has been fully vetted and is up to date on her vaccinations<br/><br/>Up until the point of her rescue, Selma spent her days and nights chained up. Now that she has experienced freedom for the first time, she's enjoying her space and will do best in a house with a yard for her to play in. She does need to be supervised in the yard as she has dug a few holes in her TX foster's fence. Overall she is a sweet, friendly, girl who is enjoying receiving love and attention for the first time in her life.<br/><br/>Since she has lead a solitary life, we think she initially will do best in a house without other dogs. If her adopters would like to add another dog in the future, we recommend a meet and greet first to see how she does.<br/><br/>- Personality: friendly, affectionate<br/>- Good with: adults (has not been tested yet with young children). Will do best as only dog for the start. Has not been cat tested yet.<br/>- Training: unknown at this time<br/>- Estimated date of birth: January 2023<br/>- Weight: about 40 pounds<br/>- Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped<br/>- Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area.<br/><br/>If you have any questions please email: info@ friendsforlifeanimalrescue.org<br/><br/>To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167<br/><br/>We always need fosters, please join us! https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155<br/><br/>Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible.<br/><br/>100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.
