Shelly - Collie and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Sebastian, Florida

Meet Shelly! 🐾

Shelly is one of Baby Love's puppies, and this sweet girl has grown into a fun-loving, energetic pup with a BIG personality--and some very strong herding instincts!

Shelly loves to run, chase, wrestle, and keep busy. She recently returned to H.A.L.O. after her adoptive home found that she played a little too rough with their small dog and had a habit of chasing and nipping at their toddler. While she wasn't the right fit for that home, Shelly does wonderfully with larger dogs and older children who can keep up with her and hold their own!

Because of her strong herding tendencies and high energy, Shelly will do best with an active family who can provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, training, and appropriate outlets for her natural instincts. She's smart, affectionate, playful, and still has plenty of puppy growing and learning to do!

If you're looking for a fun, energetic companion who will keep you laughing--and on your toes--Shelly might be your girl! ❤️
