Critter Details

Ready to shelly-brate a new best friend? Meet Shelby! This tiny toy fox terrier mix may be small enough to fit in your lap, but she has a quiet charm that can fill a whole room. With her soft white coat and gentle nature Shelby is the kind of dog who takes her time getting comfortable then rewards your patience with loyal companionship.Just over 2 years old and weighing about 6 pounds Shelby has left the puppy stage behind and settled into a calm low energy lifestyle. She enjoys simple things in life like stretching out in a sunny spot or exploring the yard at her own pace. Her rough coat adds a touch of scruffy character to her dainty frame and makes her stand out from the crowd. Shelby is friendly with dogs and has also done well with children. Her history with cats is unknown at this time. While she enjoys being around people, she can be a little reserved at first and prefers to ease into new situations rather than dive right in.Loud noises can make Shelby feel uneasy and she may be slightly skittish when the world gets busy around her. Because of this she would thrive in a home that offers consistency patience and a peaceful environment. Her house-training, crate training and leash training are all still in progress so she is looking for adopters who will support her as she continues learning.What Shelby lacks in size she makes up for with sweetness. She is a gentle little sun seeker who would love a family that appreciates the quieter side of life. With kindness and encouragement and a place where she feels secure Shelby is sure to come out of her shell and become a devoted companion. If you are searching for a pint-sized friend who enjoys sunny afternoons and backyard adventures Shelby may be the perfect match for you.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Shelby is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
