My story

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

Hello! I am Shelby, a 3-year-old female pittie. I am friends with pretty much everyone including the foster cat and other foster dogs. I love playing with blankets and will pull them all through the house. I love to do zoomies on the beds and couches, which is adorable. I love kids! I am still learning to play with toys and I love my rope toy. I love walking outside and I would be great on hikes this summer. I want to be a lap dog and get belly rubs, which are my favorite!!! I hug you all the time and I just want to melt into you when I lean on you. I can also be independent and crate well when needed. I am curious and I must smell everything!

I have beautiful brown eyes that look at you as though to say, “ok what’s next mom?” I don’t like loud noises outside when walking or just going out to the bathroom. Nor do I like cars going by. My adopters will need to be cautious of this, so I don’t get spooked on my initial walks with them. I am very loyal, and I will follow you all day while you get things done. Baths are something I am learning to enjoy. I am such a joy, my fosters say it has been their privilege to help get me ready for my forever home.

I am just so full of love and excitement, and I would be a great family pet! Someone who can match my energy will be great since I play like a puppy!!! I am super smart & strong for my stocky self and I am learning new commands every day. I have filled out beautifully in my foster home. I arrived weighing 45lbs but am up to about 60 pounds fully healthy now. I am vaccinated, spayed and heartworm negative. They would keep me but they want to continue fostering to help other dogs in need.

I am being fostered in Dyer, TN. If interested, please fill out an application today! You must be 21 or older to adopt me.

Our adoptable dogs are all in various foster homes and can be met by contacting rescue. Rescue will then provide foster home's contact information.

More about this rescue

Our Mission​

Operation Save A Shelter Dog is a foster based, IRS-recognized 501c(3) rescue whose mission is to work with shelters on the East Coast by saving dogs at high risk of euthanasia or that have little hope of adoption in their current condition. Not only is it our goal to find furever homes for our dogs, but also to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, vaccinating and providing preventative care for their pets.
