Initially a bit shy, she warms up to new people and really thrives with gentle encouragement. Her leash skills are decent, though some additional training could enhance her confidence. She has a playful side, especially when it comes to fetch, and enjoys bringing the ball back. While she’s generally good around dogs, she prefers calm companions and benefits from slow introductions. Shelby's previous experience with children was positive, but respectful and calm kids will help her feel secure. Having once known the comfort of a home, Shelby deserves another chance.
