About Shelby
Shelby is a petite, 1-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix who has been waiting far too long at the East County Animal Shelter in Dublin, CA. She comes off shy at first, but once she connects with you, Shelby's affectionate side takes over—expect spontaneous kisses and clear signals she wants your company. At just 39 lbs, she's a manageable size, especially for a shepherd mix. Her medium coat has striking black and tan coloring, and she stands out as much for her energy as her looks. Shelby thrives around other dogs and loves to engage through the fence—she doesn't just say hello; she’ll break out the zoomies with a ball or toss her toys up in the air when the mood strikes. Whether she’s chasing after a squeaky toy or lighting up with a friendly play bow, she shows a goofy, joyful spirit every day. House training is a work in progress, but her eagerness to please and intelligence mean she’s ready to learn. Shelby’s vaccinations are current, and she’s looking for someone patient who can help her settle fully into home life. Think you could be that person? Let’s get her out of the shelter and into a life she deserves. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
