Shelly - German Shepherd Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Riverside, California

Shelly is a gentle, thoughtful girl who prefers to take her time getting to know new people, places, and experiences. A little timid by nature, she's the type of dog who likes to sit back, observe, and take everything in before deciding to join the fun.

Her favorite way to explore the world is through her nose, and she enjoys spending her time sniffing around and quietly watching what's going on around her. While she may need some extra time to warm up, Shelly's confidence continues to grow with patience and understanding.

She already knows "sit" and "down," and while squeaky toys can catch her interest from time to time, she's usually happiest simply being an observer and enjoying life at her own pace.

Shelly is looking for a calm, patient home that will give her the time and space she needs to settle in and feel safe. Once she trusts you, you'll have a loyal companion right by your side.
