Michelle, also known as Shelly, is a 20-pound Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon mix around two years old with a heart full of love, and she's searching for an adopter who is patient, gentle, and truly willing to let her bloom on her own terms. Shelly might be timid when she first arrives, but with time and kindness, this affectionate little pup becomes a loyal, kiss-giving shadow eager for companionship. She warms up as she settles in and bonds deeply once she realizes she's in safe hands. Shelly gets along well with other dogs and cats, and older children, making her a good fit for a calm, quiet household. Her ideal home is one where someone is open to following the advice her rescue has learned about her—because that's how you'll see her blossom. Shelly is already spayed and has her vaccinations up to date. A secure, fenced yard and a personal pickup in Bonifay, FL are musts—she cannot be shipped or transported, and the rescue operates only through foster homes. If you’re ready to invest a little patience, Shelly will reward you with steadfast loyalty and unconditional love. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
