💖 Meet the magnificent Kelly! This vivacious 3-year-old Shepherd mix weighs in at a solid 60 lbs, and she’s bursting with love and personality just waiting to light up someone’s life! 🌟 After nearly two long years of waiting for her forever home, one can’t help but wonder why this delightful darling has been overlooked. She’s friendly as can be with people and gets along splendidly with other dogs too! Thanks to her dedicated foster with Double Down Dog Training on Whidbey Island, Kelly comes equipped with an impressive training foundation! 🐾 True to her Shepherd lineage, she forms deep bonds with her humans and is always up for an adventure. Whether it's a splash in the water or an exciting game of fetch, Kelly can't get enough! 🌊🎉 Now, let’s talk playtime! Kelly has a zest for toys but prefers exclusive playtime with her chosen human—consider it a special treat! With her lively and exuberant spirit, she can show a bit of sass when it comes to sharing her favorite squeaky. And don't worry; once the fun winds down, she’s just as happy to kick back and relax! 🤗 She does require a little extra care on the leash with an inexperienced handler, so if you’re someone who believes in the power of training, Kelly will flourish under your guidance. With a structured environment, Kelly is ready to be the ultimate companion who’s not just loyal but an adventure buddy in every sense! A little backstory on this beautiful girl: Kelly was sadly on the euthanasia list at the Moreno Valley Shelter in California due to overcrowding. She had a brief adoption in Seattle that didn’t work out due to some misunderstandings over toys. But let’s face it, the right match is out there, and she's eager to prove just how amazing she can be! 💫 **Ideal Home for Kelly**: Large breed experience is preferred, ideally a single-family home with a fenced yard. She can thrive either as your solo star or with resident dogs—just a bit of toy management required! 🌈 Kelly’s forever family should be committed to continuing her training and providing the loving structure she deserves. This splendid companion comes with an adoption fee of $575, which covers all her essentials—including spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and lifetime training support to ensure her success! And remember, her adoption fee might even be tax-deductible! 🌟 If you’re ready to open your heart and home, Kelly is waiting for you in the greater Seattle area. It's time to help her shine!✨ Please *apply through the Buddy App* to adopt this incredible girl—she can’t wait to meet her new best friend! 🐶❤️
