Shelby – 5 year old female 50 lbs mixed breed – Shelby is a sweet, affectionate, well mannered dog – she will make a wonderful addition to the right home. Shelby has excellent house manners – she is house trained, not a barker and she does not chew up things. Shelby even knows how to use a dog door, and has been allowed to roam free on a farm with our other dog and the farm animals for the past two years. She doesn’t chase the farm animals, nor wild life. Shelby’s quite content to walk calmly on or off leash and will stay indoors for many hours without a fuss. She’s been trained and will sit, stay, lie down and come on demand. Shelby is a bit insecure and timid, she gets nervous around the vacuum, and around loud noises – for example she eats in a heavy dog bowl because she gets scared if her bowl moves. Once she gets to know you Shelby is very friendly and loves to snuggle. She will lean on you when you sit on the couch. Shelby is polite to visitors and is polite around new people, including children, but she is not a social butterfly. Shelby is polite with other dogs but does get anxious around dogs who crowd her space or are very hyper.  She is looking for a new home as she is not getting along with an older female dog in the home, so she is seeking a home where she can be the only dog. She does very well with cats and has been great around live stock. The family is heartbroken to rehome her but is doing what is best for her and their other dog. Shelby’s family would like potential adopters to fill out an adoption application through Peppertree and we will forward them to the family.
