My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This precious big girl (almost 70#) is a true gem.
She's been vetted and we have given her the 12 month Proheart heartworm prevention shot for 2023.
She's a pretty chilled out dog but loves to run after a ball.
She doesn't like other dogs to come up and get in her business but she won't seek them out and get in theirs.
She's more of a loner and prefers to be the only child.
She is fostered with an older dog and several cats and has done very well with them. She has storm anxiety and gets extremely nervous during a thunderstorm.
She can (and has!) cleared a 6 ft privacy fence during a storm if let out during one or given access to a doggie door. Don't do it.
She's fine with a crate to be on the safe side while owners are working or away.
Shellie has a silky, hair-like coat and does not shed like most shepherd dogs, though she does shed, of course.
She would really prefer to have someone at home with her to give them her unconditional attention and love.
She is a wonderful girl and loving as can be, but simply anxious during storms and fireworks somewhat.
For the RIGHT person(s) we have a sponsor to sponsor her adoption fee, but only if we feel it is the perfect home for this baby girl..
Her swimming pool will even go along with her because she LOVES her swimming pool!
