You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 2 Yrs. Weight: 60 lbs This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Beautiful Shelley is simply described as A Fabulous Dog! Shelley has only been in her foster home for a short time but she has settled right in with the adults and four small dogs. She is just fine being in her crate or roaming free and is left alone for the majority of the morning and afternoon. Shelley walks well on a leash, rides well in a car and is housetrained. She is excited to greet you at the end of the day but settles down quickly and is ready to cuddle. She really likes to be by her humans' side. We don't have info about how Shelley is with kids as of yet but we should know more soon. Shelley's striking good looks make an impact from her stunning white and black speckled coat to her black/brown face mask which highlights her incredible eyes. (1 brown and 1 blue) Shelley likes to play with other pups, enjoys a walk and checking out new places. When she meets new dogs she has been playful, calm or just decides to keep to herself. She has shown interest when meeting cats or smaller animals so far and is still being observed to see how she does with them full time. She is fairly quiet but may give an alert bark when she thinks it's warranted. Shelley is said to be affectionate, intelligent, even-tempered and gentle. Shelley's foster family calls her "delightful". We do know a little bit about Shelley's past. Shelley was an owner surrender as her family unfortunately lost their home and could only keep one of their pups when they moved. They had to surrender the rest. Shelley is now ready to find her forever home and to share her heart with her lucky new family. Medical Note: This dog has tested positive for exposure to ehrlichia.
