About Shelby

Shelby is an 8-year-old Dalmatian mix looking for a loving home after spending too long in the shelter. This affectionate girl is fully potty trained and a volunteer favorite because of her friendly demeanor. She walks beautifully on a leash and loves car rides, making her an ideal companion for outings. While Shelby enjoys the company of people, she can be selective with other dogs, so a meet and greet is essential for any current pets. Unfortunately, she cannot go to a home with cats or small dogs due to a high prey drive. Shelby has thrived in a previous home with a medium-sized dog. After her extended stay, she is ready for a cozy home where she can relax and share her loving personality. Ready to meet Shelby? This could be the start of something paw-some.
