My story

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

Meet Shelby, a 6-year-old spayed Mini Australian Shepherd Mix, weighing in at a delightful 17.1 pounds of pure sweetness. Originally from Oakland, CA, Shelby embarked on a journey to Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows in early December 2023.

This black and white gal is not just a pretty face; she's a lover of cuddles and gentler play, given her luxating patellas that make her gait somewhat stiff. Despite her condition, Shelby is a sweetheart who won't be chasing any herding dreams. However, she's ready to fill your home with love and affection.

Shelby is currently on a little "diet" to shed a few pounds, but shh—don't mention it to her; she's a bit sensitive about her body type. Let's focus on showering her with the love she deserves. If you're looking for a companion with a heart as big as her fluffy coat, consider welcoming Shelby into your home. She's up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to be your loyal friend. No body shaming here—just love and acceptance for this wonderful pup.
