Shelby

Shelby is gorgeous with her brindle coloring and is about as sweet as sweet can be. She is estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs 56 pounds.

Meet Shelby, there is something so special about her, such a calmness and so much love in her eyes when she is looking at you. She is a sensitive soul who's looking for her forever family to love her as much as she will love them. Shelby is a gentle, well-mannered girl who is a people-lover at heart and just wants to be close to her humans (she honestly can't get close enough), giving the sweetest kisses and cuddles. She can be a little hand-shy though, and it takes her a minute to trust, but once she does, you'll see her full body wag with happiness! She likes to stay by your side and looks to you to be a leader, for guidance and confidence-building. But she has a silly side too and loves toys and food puzzles, she is really good at those! Shelby would do best in a quiet, more predictable type home where any children are at least 13 years old to match her timid nature. Shelby would love it if you came to meet her, she can't wait to be a part of a family and to be out of this noisy, somewhat scary kennel environment. She also seems to "hold" her potty in her kennel, so she really needs a home.

If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Shelby would like to meet them. She isn't too interested in engaging with other dogs, she is honestly just more interested in people and looking for attention. Shelby can try to avoid other dogs and looks to you for guidance.

*One of our volunteers took Shelby on an outing for the day and one of the stops was going to meet her horses. She loved watching them play and was very intrigued by them, it was making everyone laugh. Shelby was great in the car, quiet and relaxed, but she did need a little help getting in and out as it was a big truck. Shelby was friendly to everyone at the barn and never barked or made a sound.*

If you are interested in Shelby and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!

*Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*
