This is Cierce-7 year old female Saluki, Cream, Feathered, Intact, but will be spayed before placement...Maybe she is the perfect companion for you??? She is being fostered in the Phoenix area.

We are looking for that very special home for this very special girl! It is apparent that she experienced some trauma from other dogs in her previous home, but it is also obvious she wants her own special person to bond with.

She’s very people oriented, very loving and when she is on a leash she doesn’t pull, lunge, or bark at dogs at all.

She is however, unreliable around other dogs, even aggressive, but it is hard to know what sets her off so she must go to a home without other dogs.

Cierce has experienced some trauma and we have no idea how she will be with small children but we are sure she has never been around them and with her unreliable and defensive response to other dogs we do not think that she could be trusted with small children.

Here are some issues that any potential home needs to be aware of as noted by her foster mom:

She barks loudly in alarm when someone comes to the door, when she hears a car in the drive, or when someone first enters a room. She stops barking as soon as you tell her to stop but it is loud! She doesn’t just bark to bark however.

She does whine quite a bit on and off.

She is unreliably reactive to other dogs and can bark and lunge aggressively when free with them. She can go all day and be fine with them and then lose it! We also don't consider her small animal safe.

She probably hasn’t ever had much freedom and she is very nervous when in “open space” It appears her aggression comes out when she feels vulnerable, when she is out in my "big yard" she wants to stay close by and is hesitant to explore new things.

Now...all the positive things about Cierce:

She has many positive traits besides being a beauty;

She is very sweet & affectionate to us (she’s a kisser) and she is cautious but quite friendly when meeting new people.

She travels very quietly in a crate in the car.

She lets me groom her, use clippers on her, trim her nails, and do her teeth without any trouble.

She has never had a potty accident in the house to date and learned to use a dog door in minutes and has used it every time she needed to potty.

She now walks quietly and nicely on a leash even with other dogs.

She was very cooperative (although shaking like a leaf) for the vet exam, shots etc.

The foster has never witnessed any aggression toward people AND she comes when called the first time!

If you meet the criteria in placing Cierce and would like to investigate adopting her, please reach out to:
