A little about her:

- Name: Shelby

- Breed/mix: American Staffordshire Terrior/Pitbull

- Age: 3-5

- Sex: Spayed Female

- Weight/size: 47 pounds

- Location: Woodbridge, CT


Temperament: Shelby is an affectionate dog who loves cuddling, chewing bones, and going for walks. She warms up slowly to new people. Oldee children 12+, as she is a good size and strong player. Shelby sleeps in a crate every night and uses it throughout the day for naps when I need to run out. She knows sit, down, turn, come, and her name. We've also been working on place, wait, stay, loose leash walking, e-collar basics, and muzzle training, all of which she's taken to well. She has boarded with our dog trainer and does great in that environment too. It's clear she had little to no training before we found her, but she is a quick and willing learner. Get along well with dogs, proper intros needed, please no cats. She is a low energy dog. A few short walks a day and she is ready to be a couch potaoe.


Health: Fully vaccinated through Montowese Veterinary Clinic and Spayed. No other health concerns, the vet says she is in good health
