Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Kelly is on the timid side but is a very sweet dog. Whoever adopts her will have to give her time to come out of her shell. It will probably take a couple weeks before she feels comfortable. In the beginning she will most likely try to avoid the people in the home. Kelley also appears to be more comfortable with women in the beginning than men. Because of her shyness, Kelly should be in a home with older children (15+).
Kelly was surrendered when she got into an altercation with another female dog in the home and the owner got bit when she tried to separate the dogs. It was the only time Kelly has bitten and it was not because she meant to bite the owner. Because of this, Kelly should only be in a home with another male dog or be an only dog.
Kelly has been evaluated by an experienced dog trainer who feels that if Kelly "goes into the right environment and is given enough time to come out of her shell and bond with her new owners, I think she will do very well. She did not display any aggression when she was being evaluated, she only appeared shy with someone she had never met before. She was very sweet and loving to the person that brought her in, which shows that she will make strong bonds with the people she knows and is a very sweet dog once that bond is made."
Outside of the noisy shelter and in the play yard, Kelly is much more relaxed and is very affectionate. She loves attention and being pet. Kelly is about 34 pounds and 5 years old. Give Kelly a second chance and help her find the loving home she deserves.

Our shelter is not open to the public and is by appointment only. That's because at OSCAR, one of our highest priorities is the health and well-being of the animals in our care. Unlike city shelters or pounds, whose residents are in place for a short time, as a no-kill shelter, our pets are often with us for weeks, months or even years. The shelter is the only safe place and home they know. When strangers, even well-meaning ones looking to adopt, walk through the shelter, it stresses our animals. We make appointments for potential adopters that submitted applications that have been approved through our process to meet our dogs either in our BarkYard or one of our meeting rooms. We’ll spend as much time as you need and introduce you to as many animals as you’d like to meet in order to make the best match and help you find the perfect new family member!
We hold pet adoption events as much as possible for anyone interested in our animals. It is a great chance for you to come down and meet a bunch of dogs/cats before deciding who is a good fit for you. If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing. Individual meet and greets with specific animals are by appointment only.
An approved application must be on file prior to scheduling of a meet and greet.
