Shirley is a gentle, tender-hearted girl who's ready to find a home where she can truly blossom. She may be a little shy at first, but underneath that timid exterior is a total sweetheart just waiting to feel safe, loved, and understood. Right now, Shirley is heartworm positive, which may be contributing to her lower energy levels and need for a more relaxed lifestyle. The good news? The rescue will continue to cover all costs associated with her heartworm treatment-even if she's adopted before it's complete-so her future family can focus on helping her heal and thrive. Shirley is both house-trained and crate-trained, and she thrives on routine-she's a quick learner who finds comfort in structure. She would do best in a calm, quiet home where she can build confidence at her own pace. Loud noises and busy environments can be overwhelming for her, but with patience, love, and a steady routine, she'll continue to come out of her shell. If you're looking for a soft, sweet companion who will reward your kindness with quiet loyalty and gentle affection, Shirley just might be your girl.
