My story

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

Are you looking for a 3 legged shadow with bunches of energy? I might be your girl! My name is Dahlia, the humans I live with call me Dolly when we are playing but I really answer to any excited voice. I am about a year old and identify as a ball enthusiast, toy destroyer and best friend for any activity. I was hit by a car at an early age that partially healed incorrectly and because I have so much energy and don’t need 4 legs, my rescue family decided to amputate. But don’t worry, that leg only slowed me down. I’m much faster now and have had a full, successful recovery. My foster mom says I’m a very smart girl who is picking up basic obedience training commands and I’m walking really well on a leash. I’m very treat motivated and want to continue to learn. My foster Mom says I’m a wild child and thinks that I am mixed with working breeds and I act like a Belgian Malinois. I am crate trained, housebroken, enjoy car rides and am good with other dogs of all sizes. I currently live with cats and quickly learned, our kitties are for watching not playing. I’ve been around children and while I am energetic and still a puppy, I have been fine with smaller humans thus far. Interested in meeting me and giving me a wonderful life? My foster family kindly requests putting in a application on our website.

More about this rescue

At Shelters and Shelves, we firmly believe that all dogs deserve a second chance at finding their happily ever after. The dogs we rescue have all been marked as “urgent”, placing them at highest risk should the shelter reach kennel capacity. There is nothing inherently wrong with any of them; most are simply passed over based on scant first impressions or appearance. Some are medical cases that need time and space to recover outside of the stressful shelter environment. Others have a harder time finding families due to specific needs in a new home. All of them, however, have the perfect home somewhere out there waiting for them; they just need a little more time (and a little extra help) to find it. We make sure their story doesn't end at the shelter.
