🌟 Are you ready to sprinkle some joy and excitement into your life? Well, get ready to meet Shelby! This spirited pup is bursting with curiosity and a zest for adventure that will have you laughing and smiling every day. With her playful demeanor, she’s not just a dog; she's a bundle of happiness waiting to explore the world with you! 🐾 Shelby is the ultimate social butterfly, making friends with every human and dog she encounters! Her cheerful, upbeat personality lights up any room—she is the sunshine your home has been waiting for! 🌞 Rescued from an overwhelmed animal control facility in rural Kentucky alongside her six adorable littermates, these pups have all faced the challenge of finding their forever families amidst a national shelter crisis. It’s a tough time for these darling dogs, as adoption rates have dwindled, making it more crucial than ever for them to find loving homes. Shelby, at nearly 10 months old and weighing over 50 pounds, is ready to grow even more (expected to surpass 65 pounds)! 💪 A fun twist? Shelby’s DNA reveals her rich mix: 35% Bluetick Coonhound, 27% German Shepherd, 23% Husky, and 15% Staffordshire Terrier. That means she inherits a delightful cocktail of energy and charisma! 🐶 While she’s making excellent strides with crate training and housebreaking, this little lady is still learning the ropes. Expect Shelby to keep you on your toes as she grows into a well-mannered adult with some continued guidance. One thing’s for sure—training sessions will be a joy because this girl is so eager to please! 🧠🦮 With her heart and spirit, she’s curious about the world and ready for thrilling new escapades. Shelby is the perfect companion for an active family seeking a dog full of love and loyalty. 💖 Shelby is currently in a foster home in Chicago. To meet this energetic friend, an adoption application must be submitted and approved—the magic begins there! ✨ Shelby’s adoption fee is $300 (a fantastic reduction from $475 thanks to a generous sponsorship)! This fee helps cover her medical expenses during her care. Please remember, your application must be submitted through the Buddy App to start the process of bringing this sweet girl home. 🙌 Ready to invite Shelby into your heart and home?
