Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shelby is a GORGEOUS purebred Sheltie. He is 9 years old (DOB: 01/16/2007) and weighs 20 lbs. His owner is surrendering him because of her hectic work schedule...she wants Shelby to have a better life than she is able to provide. Shelby does well with dogs, cats, and children. He LOVES to eat, go on car rides, cuddle, be petted, and sleep with his human. He does not like vacuum cleaners, being brushed/groomed, hot weather, and being alone. Shelby would do best in a home where someone is home most of the day and where the temp is around 68 degrees. :)
Shelby is deaf, but that doesn't stop him. He is just like any other dog except he doesn't come when you call him. However, he is VERY smart and learns signs quickly. He already knows signs for sit, eat, and stop.
If you are interested in adding Shelby to your home, please complete an online adoption application at www.goofyfootrescue.org. He is being fostered in West Tennessee and will be transported once his adoption is finalized.
