About Shell

Shell is a gentle and sweet girl who’s around 2 years old and weighs about 13-15 lbs. Initially a bit shy, she warms up quickly once she feels secure. She has a playful spirit and enjoys the company of other dogs, making her ideal for a home with furry friends. She also gets along with cats well. Shell has a mellow energy that balances perfectly with playtime. She behaves nicely on car rides and is progressing well with potty training in her foster home. Shell feels comfortable in a gated area when left alone, and she loves basking in the sun both indoors and outdoors. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, she's grateful for the love her foster family provides. With a quiet demeanor, she finds joy in toys and chew bones, is wonderfully easy to care for, and did well during grooming. This affectionate girl will be a great companion for a loving, patient family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
