What’s a Shelob you ask? Apparently a mythical monster in the Lord of the Rings. Don’t worry though, our Shelob is no monster- she’s just a very very very good girl!! She came to the shelter as a stray and has become a shelter favorite in her time with us. She also spent a bit of time in a foster home- here’s what her foster had to say:
“Shelob has been such a delight to have in our home, and we’re confident she’ll make a wonderful addition to someone’s family soon. We’ve seen her confidence grow a little more each day! While I work from home, she spends most of her time curled up at my feet, keeping them warm from the air conditioning. She gets along well with our dog and is respectful of boundaries. We usually spend our evenings on the couch either doing a puzzle or watching TV and Shelob fits right in with our quiet lifestyle. Though she’s not too interested in toys or playtime, she enjoys chewing on a bone and the occasional treat. In the kitchen, Shelob is a perfect guest—she never takes anything that isn’t hers and has shown little interest in people food. She’s also never chewed on anything inappropriate and has been a very polite houseguest overall. Although she’s a bit skittish around cars, we’ve noticed her becoming more comfortable with them every day.”
- She comes when called - She knows commands like “get down,” “sit,” and “leave it” - She sits for leashing and unleashing - She loves getting pets and scratches, and is okay with brief touches to her paws and tail - She does well in her crate with no complaints - She is quite (not much of a barker) - She has an incredibly soft coat!
Here’s what some of her Shelob’s friends at the shelter have said:
“I met Shelob for the first time today. In the play yard she came over and accepted a lot of treats with quite a bit of petting and head scratching. She’s a good girl!”
“I have seen a lot of progress with Shelob in her comfort level with people. The last couple of times I have taken her out she has been easy to leash and seems genuinely happy to get out of her kennel. I had her in a yard and she was friendly with me and also independent while exploring. Her kennelmate was in the yard as well and they interacted very well together. Shelob just needs a patient home and I think in return to she will be a very loyal companion.”
“Shelob is such a sweetie. Still a little shy, but easy to leash with the offer of a treat. I`m transactional too so I
