Shelby has a gentle, soulful spirit and an easygoing personality that makes everyone fall in love with her. She’s content with the simple things in life—a walk, a cozy spot on the couch, or simply being with her people. Her calm, loving nature makes her a wonderful companion for families, couples, retirees, or anyone looking for a loyal best friend. One of the best things about life with Shelby is how easy she is to live with. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, wonderful on a leash, and has excellent manners around the house. Quiet and easygoing, she’s content to relax nearby whether you’re working, watching TV, or out running errands. She doesn’t need constant entertainment—she’s simply happy being with her people. Shelby enjoys treats, but what she loves most is a gentle pet, a belly rub, and being part of the family. During meals, she’ll quietly curl up under the table without begging, happy just to be included. She literally is the sweetest, chillest dog I’ve ever known. Shelby is especially wonderful with children. She is incredibly gentle and patient with young kids, happily soaking up their hugs, pets, and attention. Her calm temperament makes her a natural family dog. Shelby was found as a stray in Louisiana and has overcome more than most dogs ever should. Because of an old gunshot injury, she has a slight wobble and may occasionally need a little extra time or assistance with stairs. It doesn’t slow her down from enjoying walks, running on the beach, or being part of everyday family life. If anything, it only makes her more special. Shelby gets along well with other dogs and would do best in a home with smaller, gentle canine companions that match her easygoing play style. She isn’t looking for a perfect home—just a loving one. Shelby is: Spayed House-trained Crate-trained Dog-friendly Great on a leash Calm and easygoing Exceptionally affectionate Amazing with children The ultimate couch companion Shelby is spayed, micro-chipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and has completed her heartworm treatment. Her adoption donation is $500. - Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
