About Shelby
Our gorgeous Shelby is looking for love! Check out her profile VIDEO to see this cutie in action!
She's a beautiful, happy 10 month old staffy X who is looking for a couch (& a human or two!) to call her own. This fun loving girl is very affectionate with her humans and loves cuddle time and even some snuggles in bed if she's allowed!
Shelby is also deaf, but this doesn't stop her loving & living life to the full! She's very smart and has been learning to follow hand signals, so she can be a 'good girl' for her human.
Shelby has some puppy energy to burn, so loves to run this off playing with her doggy friends! She can get a little excited when play time begins, but quickly settles into the moment.
Shelby LOVES water!! She loves playing with the hose or in her shell pool to cool off. She lives to play tug of war and also has fun playing with her chew toys & Kongs.
Shelby is currently learning all her basic hand commands - sit, stay, down, shake hands, treats, play, walk and come. She's highly treat motivated, which makes training a breeze! Shelby's also been learning how to walk nicely on the lead and has come a long way since joining the rescue, but will benefit from more training in this area.
Shelby's ideal home will be:
- One that is prepared to continue her training and enforce basic rules and boundaries to keep her from becoming over stimulated.
- Shelby would be OK as an only dog in an active family (best suited to older kids) who can keep her company most of the time.
- Shelby would love a doggy friend, however it would be important that you could still give her the 1:1 attention she needs to continue her training.
Shelby's new family will be given training and support from the incredible Bear The Dog Behaviourist (inc with her adoption fee), so you can learn her hand signals and feel confident in continuing her training.
Shelby is a very special girl and will make an amazing addition to any family. Her big staffy smile and goofy antics will certainly warm your heart and make you smile every time you look at her! :)
