Many fans want to learn more about Taylor Hill’s dog Salem, who has helped the famous model deal with grief over the passing of her pup Tate. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel adopted Salem from a rescue organization called Animal Aid USA, which helps save unwanted pets throughout the United States. You can find the black-furred pooch in many pictures on both her Instagram and his own Instagram. Here’s more info on Salem, Taylor Hill’s dog, including his breed and age.
How old is Taylor Hill’s dog Salem?
Taylor Hill’s dog Salem is 2 years old, as of February 28, 2025.
The first post of the Salem’s Instagram on September 9, 2023 reveals that he was 8 months old at the time. It describes him as “a silly goofy guy” and says that Taylor thinks that he’s “half dog, half cat.” In another post, Hill revealed that Salem was “abandoned in Georgia” but is now living his very best life.
Then on December 26, 2024, Taylor celebrated his birthday by providing a code for free shipping on any purchases from her dog brand Tate & Taylor. This means that Salem’s birthday is December 26, 2022. That said, Taylor isn’t exactly sure what his birthday is, saying in a post celebrating his first birthday that “we think you were born this week.”
What breed is Taylor Hill’s dog Salem?
Salem, Taylor Hill’s dog, is a German Shepherd with a solid black coat, which is much less common than the breed’s usual black and tan coloring.
German Shepherds are known for their intelligence and trainability, requiring a lot of exercise as a dog that’s comes squarely from the herding group and can run up to 30 miles per hour. The average lifespan of the typical “GSD” is 9 to 13 years, so Salem is still relatively young.
Salem can be frequently seen in ad campaigns for Tate & Taylor, including the brand’s holiday campaign.
Taylor and Salem gave back to Animal Aid USA by participating in a Valentine’s Day adoption event in New York City.
