🌟 Meet the lovely Shelby! This spirited girl has experienced quite a journey, and now she's ready to bounce into her happily ever after! 🎉 On October 3rd, 2024, she was born full of hope, but her adventures began when she was found as a stray at a convenience store in North Carolina. 😢 Placed in a high-kill shelter, she felt lost and alone until November, when luck finally swung her way—she was transported to a safe, non-kill shelter just north of the Canadian border. But with all those changes, poor Shelby became a tad overwhelmed and a bit skittish, sometimes barking at potential adopters. 😟 That’s when the wonderful folks at APR stepped in. They placed this sweet girl in a loving foster home where she could decompress and truly shine! 🌈 And shine she does! Shelby is in doggy paradise, living with two adorable foster puppies and two fantastic adult dogs. She believes she’s still a puppy at heart and is always up for a wrestling match or a spirited game of chase with the younger pups. 🐶💨 She even gets along beautifully with the resident cat—after a little cautious intro, they’ve decided the comfy bed is their happy place! 🛏️ Now, let’s talk potty training—Shelby is about 90% there and has only had a few accidents while adjusting to her new digs. 🏠 She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines, making her more than ready to find her forever home! 💖 With her love for toys, bones, and a good sprint, a fenced yard would be the cherry on top! 🍒 While Shelby can be a little shy around some men and may bark at first, once she feels safe, her loving personality shines through beautifully. 🌟 More than anything, she yearns for what she’s never truly had—a family, unconditional love, and a warm place to call home forever. 🏡With the holidays approaching, there’s no better time for Shelby to find her loving family! Apply to adopt this special girl through the Buddy App, because she’s ready to meet you now! 💌 Let’s make her dreams come true!
