Shelby is a slim, sleek-coated young lady with an intelligent sparkle in her eyes. She's a composite of Shepherd and Malinois, making her both beautiful and clever. Having spent part of her early life on the streets of Mississippi, Shelby faced challenges head-on, recovering from a hip surgery that did not deter her spirit. Since her rescue, she has been thriving and is ready for her forever home. Everyone who has interacted with Shelby can't help but rave about her sweetness and smarts. This active girl knows basic commands and thrives on training, having been through a month with a professional canine trainer. She enjoys a structured environment, which will help her adjust to a new home. Her ideal setting includes a fenced-in yard for her energetic zoomies and a family that can continue her training, possibly in agility classes or play games together. Shelby prefers the company of confident, mature dogs but can be an only pet in the household. She gets along well with children over 12 but may be too playful for younger kids. Although she enjoys her crate and is house-trained, she loves being social and would thrive in a home where someone works from home. Packing her leash for car adventures or playing in the water makes her day! If you are looking for a loyal companion who will bring excitement and affection into your life, Shelby is the one to meet!
