Introducing SALSA. Salsa was brought to WARL by Worcester Animal Control after being found running loose with another dog. This brindle beauty is 80 pounds of love. She has been affectionate with the staff caring for her and our advanced dog walking volunteers. When sitting on the ground with Salsa, she will jump in your lap to snuggle and ask for belly rubs. She loves toys and playing in our fenced-in pen. Salsa is exceptionally strong and pulls hard when walking on leash. She also has a tendency to jump up when she is playing or gets excited. For those reasons, we are looking for an adopter who has experience handling large and strong dogs. We also believe she is best not living with very small children.

If you are looking for a pup to take on a morning hike with you then spend the afternoon hanging on the couch, Salsa is your girl. If you would like to schedule time to meet this pretty pittie, email us at info@worcesterarl.org. WARL COVID-19 Procedures
