DESCRIPTION
Meet Selma!
Formerly known as Indara at Harris County Pets, this sweet girl got a fresh start and a brand-new name when she joined Scout’s Honor Rescue. We love giving our dogs new names as they begin their next chapter, leaving the past behind and looking toward a brighter future.
Selma shared a kennel with our sweet Patty and quickly showed us what a kind, gentle soul she is. The shelter estimates she’s around 6 years old, but honestly, we think she may be a little younger—either way, she has plenty of love left to give!
Selma is dog-friendly and would love a canine companion to play with. She takes a few minutes to read the room and figure out another dog’s play style, but once she settles in, she’s happy and relaxed. She’s eager to learn, eager to please, and ready for someone willing to guide her with patience, consistency, and love.
We may never know Selma’s story, but we do know she deserves a chance at a wonderful future. This sweet girl is looking for her person—someone who will help her learn, grow, and finally know what it feels like to be truly loved.
