Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie Dogs Available for Adoption

I’m one of those dogs that presents a full smile when excited. Not to worry I don’t have an aggressive bone in my body. But I am very shy. My staff is helping me gain confidence when in my kennel as well as with people. My new home must be patient with me. When trust is built I warm up but revert to my shy behavior quickly. That is my challenge. If you are willing to help me learn what it means to be loved and cared for, please come in for a meet and greet. I want to conquer this! I weigh 17 pounds.! ***I have been microchipped.
