🌟 Meet the absolutely enchanting Shelly! This delightful 20-pound Shih Tzu mix is just *two years old*, and she’s on a heartfelt quest for her forever home. But wait! Shelly isn’t just any pup — she’s a bouquet of love wrapped in fur, seeking an adopter who is patient, gentle, and nurturing. If you’ve got a soft spot for a timid soul and the heart to help her thrive, then she’s waiting just for you! At first, Shelly may come off as a shy little wallflower, hesitant to fully show her vibrant personality. But once she feels safe and secure, she transforms into a loyal sidekick who can't resist smothering her loved ones with sweet, slobbery kisses! 🥰 So, just roll up your sleeves, give her a little time and kindness, and watch her blossom into the joyful companion she truly is! Shelly also plays wonderfully with other dogs and cats, and she’s gentle with older children too. However, she will flourish best in a tranquil and calm environment, where her new human can take the time to learn about her quirks and build a trusting bond — like the beautiful friendship it’s destined to be! 💖 So, why wait? The soul who gives Shelly that second chance will be rewarded with unconditional love and loyalty for a lifetime. Just imagine the snuggles! 🐾 A few essential things to keep in mind: This is a loving foster-based rescue, which means all dogs must be picked up in person in Bonifay, FL. No shipping or transporting of the pets, darling! A secure, fenced yard is a must unless stated otherwise. Don’t worry though, Shelly comes spayed/neutered, age-appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and started on flea/heartworm prevention. Sooo, if Shelly has captured your heart (and let’s be honest, how could she not?), make sure to *apply through the Buddy App* to welcome this extraordinary girl into your life! 🌈
