*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***
Meet Shelby! She is currently in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and she is almost ready to show off her new skills! Her new abilities include 'sit', 'down', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.
Miss Shelby has a sensitive soul. She can be scared and nervous when she meets people. She enjoys cuddling once she knows you. She can coexist with other dogs but doesn't interact much with them. She'd rather lounge around and lay in the best sunspots.
She does enjoy a nice short walk from time to time but doesn't need too much exercise. She actually protests exercise sometimes, faking a fall and laying down on a walk refusing to go further. This happens when she decides the walk has been long enough.
Shelby is kennel trained and house trained.
Due to her nervousness, she will need a 6' fence to keep her safely contained in her new yard.
If your heart is searching for new soulful and fairly calm companion, apply to meet Shelby today. She'll graduate mid-April.
