My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shellie was pulled from the local pound therefore we do not know much about her. She appears to have Boxer traits by jumping around and wiggling her back end. She is learning a few simple commands. Sit, stay, and get back and she is ok on a leash except she prefers to carry the leash. She does play fetch and brings the toy back to the thrower. She is very sweet but has lots of energy so not recommended with young children because of her hyper ways. She is in a kennel at night and does not potty inside. She is not afraid of much including the lawn mower. She does like to be with her people and will bark some when left alone. She rides well in a vehicle while in a crate. If you have lots of time to help Shellie learn to calm down, she will make a great companion.

Shellie has been dewormed, microchipped, free of external parasites and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine. Since she is not yet spayed, Shellie is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County.

For more information, please call the Bedford Humane Society at 540-586-6100, or go to https://www.bhsva.org/adoptables to fill out an adoption application.
