shirazi salad

Shirazi Salad has a few things going on. She's a shy lady by day, a spider inspector by night, and is currently on Season 3, Episode 14 of Sex and the City (firmly Team Miranda, which tells you everything you need to know about her).

She takes her nightly security patrols seriously, has a personal policy of turning her head away from problems she'd rather not deal with (out of sight, out of mind), and dines in private because she's not interested in eating in front of people.

She's gentle, funny, and full of quirky little habits that make her incredibly lovable once you get to know her. She needs a calm, patient home without young children, and someone who finds all of the above charming. Shirazi Salad is not for everyone, but she will be EVERYTHING to the right person.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
