Our pet of the week is SALLIE, a beautiful pup with a story that’s ready for a fairy tale ending. SALLIE and her pups were left behind at a partner shelter on the 4th of July. Her luck took a turn for the better when the wonderful folks at Daisy’s Pet Playground welcomed her with open arms.

When SALLIE first arrived at It Takes a Village, she was just 35 pounds - half of her ideal weight! But with love, care, and plenty of treats, she’s now a healthy 53 pounds and feeling fabulous. Her puppies have all been adopted; now it’s this mama’s turn to shine. At about three years old and recently spayed, SALLIE is more than ready for her happily ever after.

SALLIE’s friendly personality and love for other dogs make her the perfect companion for a family ready to welcome a sweet, gentle soul into their hearts.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
