Shelby is outgoing and friendly. She comes running when you call. She is house trained and uses the doggy door to go outside to potty. She knows sit. She likes getting her ears scratched and playing with the other dogs and toys.

Shelby's mom, Cassie, was left in the backyard in Houston with 100+ weather and a severe drought when her owners moved out. Cassie was not only anemic and dehydrated but very pregnant. We knew we were battling the clock trying to get weight on her and pumping her full of vitamins. One week later, she had 9 healthy puppies. They were born August 14, 2011.

Please contact Vicky at AARF@Embarqmail.com for more information about this puppy or to schedule a meet and greet.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
