A Note from the Foster: My name is Shelby, and I am a two-year old, spayed Pomeranian/Shiba Inu mix. I am very spunky and energetic. I love nothing more than chasing tennis balls and burning off energy with high-speed zoomies around the fenced-in yard. While I’m outside, I do my business, but I also like to patrol the perimeter and keep unknown people and dogs away with my effective bark. I am very food motivated, enjoying snacks, bones stuffed with treats, and a frozen peanut butter Kong. Once I have burned off my energy, I enjoy cuddling with people or playing with my inside toys, but sometimes I get so excited that I play bite and need to be redirected with one of my squeaky toys. I’ve never been around children, so I have no idea what they are about, but I do know that I am not fond of cats. I’m still not sure about other dogs since they could get in the way of me getting all of the attention, but maybe I would like a dog friend: I’d have to meet them. I look forward to finding my forever family, so let’s meet and play ball!
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
