About Kelley

Meet Kelley – a gentle and loving 4.5-year-old Labrador Retriever and Staffordshire Terrier mix who is looking for her forever home. She was rescued after enduring a rough start, found at an abandoned hospital with her puppies, where bad weather led to a tragic loss before she could be helped. Despite her past, Kelley remains sweet and affectionate. Initially shy, she quickly warms up to those who show her kindness. She adapts well to home life, has shown good behavior in a crate, and demonstrates nurturing instincts. This girl thrives on love and attention, making her an excellent companion for anyone willing to give her a little time to settle in. Kelley is heartworm positive and will receive treatment in March, being ready for adoption in April. By adopting her, you won’t just be giving Kelley a second chance; you will be making a difference in her life. Heartworm-positive dogs often need extra care, but their loyalty and gratitude are immeasurable. If you’re ready to open your heart to a resilient dog, Kelley is eagerly waiting for you! To bring this wonderful girl into your life, please reach out to Spring Branch Rescue for adoption details. She can’t wait to start her new chapter with you!
