History: Shirley is a super sweet little lady who arrived to rescue with her littermates who each looked a bit different from each other- some with curlier hair and others like Shirley who look more golden-like. They are each settling into rescue and doing well!
A Note from the Foster: Hi friends, my name is Shirley. I am a lot more golden than I am doodle! My foster parents tell me I look like a baby deer, since I am tall and lanky and still growing into my legs. I am working super hard on potty training, and doing oh so good! I am generally a very calm pup, and am happy playing with a toy that squeaks. I am very easy to have around and love to cuddle and get belly scratches. I do have a foster brother who is a BIG boy, but I handle my own and like to learn from him. I am sometimes shy with new people, loud sounds, and new things, but I open up very fast with some encouragement and high pitched baby talk. Everyone tells me I am the sweetest girl, I like to think so too! I am itchy, but my foster parents are helping me find out why and fix it. I can promise you that you will fall in love with me immediately, just like my foster parents did!
PS- There is a cat at my foster home, but I usually leave him alone or carefully tiptoe up to him for sniffs. I like to keep to myself and he does the same! I also met a baby and was oh so gentle!
Adoption Fee: Our adoption fees typically vary from $500-$1250 + tax. Our coordinator will be in touch with you with specific information during the application processing. For more information on where our animals come from, here is some additional information. Thank you!
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!
