About Shelby

Meet Shelby, a friendly and fun-loving girl who’s about one year old and weighs around 34 lbs. After a brief stay with a former family, she’s back with Mostly Mutts. Shelby has enrolled in the MM Prison Pups program for immersive training, which will help her further develop her skills while she looks for a new home. Shelby gets along well with smaller dogs and will need to meet any larger females before adoption. She was known to like kids, but there was a little nip, so it's best suited for those aged 15 and older. This sweet hound loves to explore, is energetic, and can sometimes be a vocal adventurer when left outdoors unsupervised. While she’s learned several commands like 'sit' and 'down' through the Mostly Mutts training program, she will benefit from ongoing training. Shelby is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and has good crate manners. You can find Shelby waiting for her forever home in Kennesaw, GA, and her adoption fee is waived. What are you waiting for?
