About Shirley

Shirley is a 9-week-old female Pitty mix currently in foster care in Austin, Texas. She’s a gentle soul who initially may appear reserved, but her playful nature shines through once she feels comfortable. Shirley enjoys exploring her surroundings, engaging in playful antics with her littermates, and then crashing after a long play session. Transport can be arranged for approved adopters out of state. Shirley is still learning the basics of being a puppy; she isn’t potty trained or leash trained yet and will need a family ready to guide her with patience and positive reinforcement. This sweet girl would thrive in a home with another well-balanced dog to help her learn the ropes. Bringing a puppy like Shirley into your home is a significant commitment, but the rewards are immense as you nurture her growth and development. If you’re ready to invest time and love into welcoming this sweet girl into your life, she would love to meet you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
