Description
Dog Breed: Saluki / Hound (short coat). A5740167 Meet Zena, a 2-year-old Saluki - Hound mix and a rare beauty to see at the shelter! With her sleek tricolor coat, those enormous floppy ears that bounce when she runs, and deep chocolate eyes framed by perfect little eyebrows, she’s pure hound-dog charm. She’s a bit underweight right now - her bony hips show she could use some extra meals, treats, and all the TLC you can offer. Though shy at first, Zena warms up quickly, and her sweet, vibrant personality soon shines through. And when she truly feels safe and loved, you’ll know it instantly - her long, sweeping tail will fly high like a happy flag in the breeze. This gorgeous girl is ready to flourish with a family who’ll give her the love and care she deserves. Will that be with you? -2 year old tricolor Saluki - Hound mix -52 pound spayed female -up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today! -came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 11/22/25 as an owner surrender, but we have no notes and no idea why, as Zena is the sweetest girl! -perfect manners - very easy on leash (no pulling at all!), seems to be potty trained, could be good with other calm/polite dogs (especially with thoughtful intros), and already knows basic commands like sit, so additional training should be a breeze!

Overview:
The Saluki, an ancient and graceful breed, hails from the Middle East, where it was historically prized by royalty for its incredible speed and hunting prowess. Physically, they are unmistakable with their lean, elegant build, long feathered ears, and a distinctive plumed tail. Their coat can be either smooth or feathered, typically in a variety of colors including white, cream, fawn, and black. Temperamentally, Salukis are known for being independent, gentle, and somewhat reserved, often forming strong bonds with their immediate families but remaining aloof with strangers. While they are generally good with respectful children and can coexist with other pets if properly socialized, their high prey drive means small, fast-moving animals might be seen as quarry. Due to their need for regular exercise and a secure, spacious environment to run, they are best suited for active families with fenced yards, though they can adapt to apartment living with dedicated daily walks and opportunities to sprint in safe areas. Health-wise, Salukis are generally robust but can be prone to certain conditions such as cardiac issues and some forms of cancer, making regular veterinary check-ups important for their long-term well-being.
