Story
Meet Shelby – The Sweet and Playful Pup Ready for His Forever Home!
Shelby is a 13-week-old mixed breed puppy. When we say mixed, we mean a true Heinz 57! He's a beautiful mix with a stunning sable coat and striking blue eyes that look almost too perfect to be real—but they are! Weighing 20 pounds, Shelby is ready to bring joy and laughter to a loving family.
Shelby is the perfect mix of playful and easygoing. He’s a little more low-maintenance than his siblings but still full of fun. Whether he’s romping around, hopping through the yard, or engaging in a game of fetch or chase, his playful nature keeps everyone entertained.
When it’s time to relax, Shelby is just as happy curling up in a lap for a cozy nap or finding a quiet spot on his own.
He has started working on potty training and loves going outside, enjoys exploring, and doesn’t mind the cold or snow. With consistency, he’ll quickly master potty training.
While he hasn’t started leash or crate training yet, he’s used to being in a penned area when his foster family is away or at bedtime.
Shelby is very food-motivated and eager to learn. With patience and guidance, he will pick up new skills quickly.
Shelby has never met a stranger. His friendly nature makes him a favorite with everyone, and he’s been well-socialized in his foster home, living with three dogs of various sizes and ages. He loves playing and learning from them, making him a great fit for families with kids or other pets.
Shelby would thrive in a home with plenty of companionship, whether from kids, adults, or another dog. He’s an adaptable pup who enjoys both active playtime and quiet moments. Expected to grow into a medium-large dog, he’s a wonderful choice for families or couples ready for a loving, playful companion.
