Description
Dog Breed: English Setter (medium coat). Shelby came to the shelter when her owner lost their home. Together they lived for awhile in temporary housing, but when her owner finally found placement he had to make the difficult decision to surrender Shelby as the apartment would not allow him to have a dog. Shelby gets very attached to her people pretty quickly. She is nervous and shy with new people. When you come to visit, she will probably hide outside and bark. However, once you get to know her, she won't leave your side. She loves to play in the yard and to cuddle. Shelby needs a home with patience to help her overcome her fears. The shelter is a lot for her, but we know once she gets into a home, she is going to blossom into a wonderful pup.

Overview:
The English Setter is a graceful and elegant gun-dog, originating in England during the 19th century and renowned for its distinctive "setting" behavior when scenting game. Physically, they are medium-sized with a lean, athletic build, boasting a beautiful, silky coat that comes in various belton patterns – combinations of white with flecks of orange, blue, lemon, or tri-color. Their long, feathered tails and ears contribute to their sophisticated appearance. Temperamentally, English Setters are generally gentle, affectionate, and intelligent, making them wonderful family companions. They are known for being good with children and other pets, though their high energy levels and need for regular exercise mean they are not ideal for small apartment living without ample outdoor access. While generally healthy, breed-specific concerns can include hip and elbow dysplasia, deafness, and hypothyroidism. With proper training, socialization, and an active lifestyle, the English Setter can be a devoted and joyful addition to the right home.
