Hi I'm Shelby and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR SHELBY
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/rQ7AhyBxdqag3U4Y9

NOTE: You are unable to meet Shelby until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Shelby in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.


What I need in my new home:
• BREED KNOWLEDGE IS PREFERRED
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (No small gaps under fencing)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• A family who promises to keep me well-groomed and brush me regularly so I'm always looking and feeling my best
• Lots of love and attention
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• I LOVE other dogs but I'm a very energetic dog, so I need a doggy playmate who will match my energy levels and playfulness.
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them.
• A doggie companion is a MUST to keep me company when my family isn't home or a family that is home all the time. I suffer from separation anxiety which results in barking.
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be.


Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Cats or small animals as I find them fun to chase


My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• I can sit
• I walk well on lead
• Happy to hang out with other dogs
• I LOVE toys and do play fetch

• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• Exuberant & full of beans
• Mostly housetrained - will require further training.
• I love toys especially my ball, playing fetch and tug rope

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be bouncy -training should stop this
• I can sometimes initially be shy and try to avoid things going over my head (lead etc). It doesn't take long for me warm up and my excitable & full of life nature to come out.
