Meet Sherley!
Sherley is a sweet, lovable girl with a heart full of affection. She adores hugs, scratches, and kisses, soaking up all the love you have to give. Sherley is great with people and thrives in calm, structured households where she doesn’t feel the need to assert dominance or compete for attention. With proper introductions, she can do well with other dogs and is currently kenneled with her friendly pal, Donna.
This beautiful girl has been waiting patiently in boarding for her forever family. She loves sunbathing, savoring the warmth of a sunny day, and is content to lounge around and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Sherley isn’t food- or toy-motivated, but she values human engagement, making her a wonderful companion for someone seeking a loving, relaxed pet.
While Sherley is still learning appropriate behavior, she is not inherently aggressive—she simply needs guidance and structure to understand what’s expected of her. With the right training and environment, she will thrive as a loyal and affectionate companion.
If you’re an experienced dog owner or have a calm, quiet household, Sherley could be the perfect addition to your family. She’s ready to trade her boarding kennel for a cozy spot on your couch—and maybe some TV time together!

All breeds listed are educated best estimates by transferring shelter staff, our volunteers or our vets. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them the All American MUTT. Our dogs are rescued from various situations (kill-shelters, owner surrenders, strays, etc). It is most likely that both their parents were strays and mixes of some sort.
