My story

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

Shelby is about 1 year old and is a mix of Red Heeler, Australian Shepherd, Bulldog, and American Bully. She is on the lower end of medium and weighs about 30lbs or less. She leans very heavy on the Heeler side as far as looks and behavior. Shelby came to her foster family as an owner surrender from Tennessee. She was signed over to a vet clinic due to her being hospitalized with Parvo. She has done wonderfully in her foster home but definitely comes with sassiness. Shelby is very acclimated to being around large dogs but loves to play rough. She has been trained to eat in her crate to avoid any resource guarding amongst her foster brothers and sisters. When it’s feeding time, she runs straight to her crate. Some things that Shelby loves are car rides, playing chase, chewing on pigs ears or collagen bones, and talking back when she is being naughty.

Shelby does well with other dogs that are playful and energetic. She loves to herd her 80lb foster brother all around the yard. Shelby has been around children aged 8-12. She doesn’t quite know how to handle her feelings of excitement and as a result she will lightly nip which isn’t uncommon for herding dog. In the best interest of Shelby and the loving members of her forever home, she cannot be adopted to a home with small children but older children comfortable with dogs will be considered.

More about this rescue

Friends of Rescue is a certified 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2009, consisting of volunteers who are devoted to saving shelter animals that are in danger of euthanasia. Southern shelters have a constant overflow of dogs and cats, little funding, and limited space. Once the animals arrive at the shelter, they have very little time. It is our goal to help save these adoptable animals and find loving individuals/families who will provide committed, FORever homes. We are NOT professional trainers or animal behaviorists; simply volunteers who are trying to save these animals from euthanasia. Each animal in our program is in a foster home and receives all age-appropriate vetting while in our care.
