Looking for a silly wiggler? Shelby just might be your baby! Rescued by NGPR after being dumped at a very young age, Shelby is learning how to be a dog in her foster home where she's been able to meet and play with other dogs and even kids. She is house broken, likes car rides, and even water, so she may grow up to be a swimming buddy! Described as being sweet, but shy, Shelby is a great blank slate for any family looking for a new family member that they can shower with affection and teach the ropes. Shelby's current training focus is on leash walking and building up her confidence, and her foster family is seeing lots of success in both areas. Some of her favorite treats include the really good stuff: steak and chicken! She's learning that humans are kind, and that she can satisfy her natural curiosity with lots of sniffing time, exploratory walks, and allowing the people in her life to show her love. Shelby will absolutely melt your heart by rolling over for belly rubs and wiggling her whole body when she's happy; she's also learning some commands and showing off her pyr-sonality through playing with toys and finding her voice. We at NGPR just think the world of her and know she'll be a fantastic friend for a family with an abundance of love, encouragement, and affection to share!

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
