From the Foster:




Meet Shelby!
  
Shelby’s been my foster since the start of 2018.
  S
he's past that 'puppy' stage but still has some energy and will run around the yard and still likes to play.
 




She might be one of the sweetest fosters I've ever had in my years of doing this.  She cuddled right up to me when I met her, and she's been nothing but loving and gentle since I've had her.  She also has the softest fur on her head, too!!  I call her ‘velvet head” and it's amazing, really. She's a little overweight, her coat is fantastic, and she's familiar with couches and beds, so she was clearly someone's pet at some point.
  
She’s been 100% housebroken with me, and knows that the quicker she does her business outside, the quicker she can come back in from the cold weather.




 




S
he's been living with and my two other dogs, and a second foster who got adopted a couple weeks ago.  She's done GREAT!  They're all bigger boys, and I think she likes being the girl in the house.  She's not been a huge fan of the tiny little dogs we've met out and about - but I can't fault her too much.  

Shelby i
s crated while I'm at work during the day for 7-8 hours, and most nights as well, and I've had zero issues.  she goes in with a treat and is perfectly quiet.






I’ve made a point to bring her with me whenever I can; friends, work, home depot, etc.
  
W

e've met all sorts of kids and adults, and she's done great.  Her only real issue (that we're working on) is jumping up.  She's such a short little girl, she feels the need to get closer to you, but we're working on that and other basic skills to being a good dog.






Shelby would be a great addition to most any house, and would love to meet you.
  
Yes, you!
