Shelby(Reduced Fee!) is waiting for you at Pal's Place Foundation in United States. *A VERY GENEROUS DONOR IS SPONSORING $175 OF SHELBY'S ADOPTION FEE, ALONG WITH THE FEES OF HER LITTERMATES, TO REDUCE THEIR ADOPTION FEES TO $300 IN HOPES THEY'LL FIND THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES SOON!** Are you ready to add some fun and excitement to your life? Say hello to Shelby, an energetic pup filled with curiosity, enthusiasm, and love. This playful girl is a bundle of joy, always eager for adventure and ready to explore. Shelby is a friendly girl who loves making friends with every human and dog she meets! Her cheerful, upbeat, charismatic personality brightens any space she enters, and she will be the sunshine and love of your home. Shelby was rescued from an overwhelmed animal control facility in rural Kentucky, along with her six littermates, when they were just eight weeks old. Shelters and rescues across the US are facing a crisis, as adoption rates have slowed significantly over the past 18 months, while surrenders and intake numbers have been rising. In previous years, puppies in shelters and rescues were usually adopted quickly, often as soon as they became available. Unfortunately, in the past year, it has become more common for friendly, adoptable dogs, including puppies, to remain in shelters or foster homes for several months before finding a family. As victims of this current shelter and rescue crisis, Shelby and four of her littermates have been in foster care while waiting for their forever homes. These sweet pups are more than ready and eager to find the loving, permanent families they deserve. Approaching 10 months old and weighing just over 50 pounds, she will grow into a larger dog (over 65 pounds) when fully mature. A DNA test on two littermates shows their breed mix as 35% Bluetick Coonhound, 27% German Shepherd, 23% Husky, and 15% Staffordshire Terrier. She's making good progress with crate training and housebreaking, but is still a pup learning the ropes.
