My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sweet, sociable, splendid Salem seeks a loving forever home! This beautiful girl is an absolute gem and will bless one lucky household with a limitless amount of love, companionship, and loyalty. Salem found her way to Pal's Place from an overburdened animal control facility in Kentucky. Her breed and past are unknown, but we suspect she's a mix of several breeds combined to create our lovely, beautiful Salem! Border Collie, Labrador, American Bulldog, Shepherd, and more are all possible ancestors in her lineage. Her date of birth is also unknown, but she is a young adult with an estimated age range between 2-4 years and a current weight of 60 pounds. Salem is the kind of dog we think will fit in most households easily and will make a great companion for a family looking for a dog that is still active, playful, and fun-loving but one that also knows when to sit back and relax. She is an excellent mix of energies and is just as content cuddling on the couch as on a hiking trail. Salem is a quietly confident, friendly dog who loves people and greets everyone with a smile on her face and abundant tail wags. Her affectionate, easy-going, engaging personality is what we love most about this sweetheart, and we can't wait for this deserving girl to find her forever family. Salem is well-behaved in the home, crate trained, and does well with her housebreaking when taken out regularly. She loves other dogs almost as much as she loves humans and gets along very well with the several other dogs she shares her foster home with. Salem was recently spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), and microchipped. With her clean bill of health, she's ready for her next chapter: a forever home of her own!

Salem's adoption fee to the rescue is $375. She is being fostered on Chicago's north side and can be seen by appointment only after an application has been received and approved. For more info or an application, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit palsplacerescue.org. Unfortunately, we cannot place holds on our dogs for any reason.

Additional adoption info

Pal's Place is a foster-based canine rescue serving Chicago and surrounding areas. We do adopt out of state, provided potential adopters are willing to make the trip to Chicago to meet the dog in person before adoption. We do not ship or transport our animals. We rescue dogs from euthanasia at overturned and open-intake animal control facilities. They are placed in foster homes, evaluated, and fully vetted before adoption. If interested in adoption, please read the information below, outlining our fees and process for adoption.

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed, and vaccinated before being placed for adoption. An adoption application and contract are required. Our adoption fees vary by dog but are generally as follows:

Senior Dogs $275 and up

Adult dogs $375 and up

Puppies (under twelve months) $475 and up

These fees help to cover the expenses of vetting, feeding, and housing the dogs we rescue. We rely solely on donations to continue our work in rescuing needy dogs.
HOW TO ADOPT:

•Step 1: Submit an application through our website at http://palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ or email palsplace1@hotmail.com for our application in PDF or Word format. Be sure to fully complete the application and ensure contact information for your veterinarian (if you have current dogs/cats in the home or within the past five years) and/or landlords (if renting) is included. We do check vet references, and we do verify if dogs are allowed in rental units. Omitting this information will slow the application process down. Pal's Place has no shelter facility. All our dogs are in foster homes or boarding facilities while they await adoption. Dogs can be seen by appointment once the rescue has approved an application. Any information we know about our available dogs is listed in their bios below this information. Please read the dog's bio thoroughly, we will not respond to emailed questions regarding our dogs if the information is already provided in their bio.

• Step 2: A volunteer will do their best to respond to your application within 24-72 hours of submission to schedule a meeting if approved. WE CANNOT HOLD DOGS FOR ANY REASON. The sooner we place a dog into a loving forever home, the sooner we can bring another in desperate need of rescue into our program. Please do not apply unless you are ready to welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. If you are expecting a response, please check your spam or junk folder, as correspondence from us may end up there. If you haven't received a response within 72 hours, please email Samantha@palsplacerescue.org to verify your application was received.

• Step 3: Meet the dog! All adults living in the home must be present at your appointment. If all parties agree the dog is a good match for your home at the time of the visit, be prepared to take your new best friend home with you the same day. We send all our dogs home with a collar, a small bag of the food they have been eating, and their medical paperwork. An adoption contract and disclosure form will be completed at that time, and the adoption fee will be collected (each dog's individual fee is listed in the bio). Adoption fees can be paid via cash, check, Zelle, or PayPal. In the case of litters of puppies, we can no longer hold a particular puppy for visits due to a huge increase in no-shows and last-minute cancelations of meet-and-greet appointments over the past several months. An effort is made to schedule visits with puppies in the order the approved applications were received. Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake, high-kill shelters in Kentucky. We often have very little information about the dog's past before rescue. Breed and adult size are often educated guesstimates, and we cannot guarantee either.
