My name is
Kelly!

Animal Profile: Kelly is a 2-year-old 60 lb spayed female Shepherd mix who is dog and people-friendly.  She was getting stressed in the kennel but did well on a temperament test with a male pit bull. We will share more info as we get to know her in foster care. 

Foster Update: Kelly is a sweet, gentle pup who loves all people! She enjoys toys and playing fetch and does well entertaining herself with a squeaky toy or dog puzzle. She is quite intelligent, very treat motivated, and happy to take direction. She now knows sit, down, stay, place, crate, and leave it! She is house and crate-trained, and walks well on leash, but is excitable so will need boundaries and strong leadership. Kelly can be a bit overexcited when she plays, but plays well with our smaller female husky mix and peacefully walks away when our resident doesn’t feel like sharing toys. She did like to chase the cats in her previous foster home so would need more training/management and dog-savvy cats, or a cat-free home. Kelly still has a lot of youthful exuberance and will do best with an active family committed to providing her with adequate mental and physical stimulation as well as continued training.
