About Shay

Meet Shay! Shay is a lovely 6.5-year-old girl ready for a fresh start and a forever family. Despite her past of being abandoned, she remains a delightful sweetheart with a playful spirit. She gets along well with other dogs, especially those with high energy, and does okay on a leash, though she might pull a bit. Shay knows basic commands like "sit" and "shake," showing how trainable she is. This affectionate pup does well with children and has been tested with cats. While she was enthusiastic around them, she displayed no aggression, making her ideal for families with tolerant cats. Shay is very motivated by treats and loves to perform for snacks.
