I am a gem with the best outlook on life. I am snorty, sweet, goofy and just plain adorable. My foster mommy said that I am short, solid and super-duper affectionate. I am very well behaved in the house and love attending my weekly obedience class/dog social because there are snacks. I am a total keeper with low/medium energy who cares more about following you around than anything. Sofa time, sunbathing, easy walks, belly scratches and soaking up attention are my favorite hobbies.

She is good on the leash and rides well in a car. She loves spending lots of time poking around the back yard or lying in an outdoor bed in the sun. Salli loves to snuggle next to her human on the couch or on a lap. She likes kids, so children over the age of eight would be okay.
