**A VERY GENEROUS DONOR IS SPONSORING $175 OF SHELBY'S ADOPTION FEE, ALONG WITH THE FEES OF HER LITTERMATES, TO REDUCE THEIR ADOPTION FEES TO $300 IN HOPES THEY'LL FIND THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES SOON!** Are you ready to add some fun and excitement to your life? Say hello to Shelby, an energetic pup filled with curiosity, enthusiasm, and love. This playful girl is a bundle of joy, always eager for adventure and ready to explore. Shelby is a friendly girl who loves making friends with every human and dog she meets! Her cheerful, upbeat, charismatic personality brightens any space she enters, and she will be the sunshine and love of your home. Shelby was rescued from an overwhelmed animal control facility in rural Kentucky, along with her six littermates, when they were just eight weeks old. Shelters and rescues across the US are facing a crisis, as adoption rates have slowed significantly over the past 18 months, while surrenders and intake numbers have been rising. In previous years, puppies in shelters and rescues were usually adopted quickly, often as soon as they became available. Unfortunately, in the past year, it has become more common for friendly, adoptable dogs, including puppies, to remain in shelters or foster homes for several months before finding a family. As victims of this current shelter and rescue crisis, Shelby and four of her littermates have been in foster care while waiting for their forever homes. These sweet pups are more than ready and eager to find the loving, permanent families they deserve. Approaching 10 months old and weighing just over 50 pounds, she will grow into a larger dog (over 65 pounds) when fully mature. A DNA test on two littermates shows their breed mix as 35% Bluetick Coonhound, 27% German Shepherd, 23% Husky, and 15% Staffordshire Terrier. She's making good progress with crate training and housebreaking, but is still a pup learning the ropes. Potential adopters should expect to continue her training and provide the guidance and structure all young dogs need to develop into the best canine citizens they can be as adults. She's smart as a whip and eager to please, making training sessions with Shelby enjoyable. Shelby is a dog with heart and spirit, curious about the world and always ready for new adventures. She will make a wonderful and loyal companion for an active family! Shelby is fostered in Chicago, and meet-and-greets are by appointment only after an adoption application has been received and approved. For more information or to apply, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit our website at palsplacerescue.org. Correspondence from the rescue may end up in spam or junk folders. Please check these folders regularly if waiting for a response. Shelby's adoption fee is $300 (reduced from $475 thanks to a generous sponsorship). This fee helps cover her medical expenses while in our care. She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, and on monthly flea and heartworm preventatives.

Additional adoption info
Pal's Place is a foster-based canine rescue serving Chicago and surrounding areas. We do adopt out of state, provided potential adopters are willing to make the trip to Chicago to meet the dog in person before adoption. We do not ship or transport our animals. We rescue dogs from euthanasia at overturned and open-intake animal control facilities. They are placed in foster homes, evaluated, and fully vetted before adoption. If interested in adoption, please read the information below, outlining our fees and process for adoption.
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, wormed, and vaccinated before being placed for adoption. An adoption application and contract are required. Our adoption fees vary by dog but are generally as follows:
Senior Dogs $275 and up
Adult dogs $375 and up
Puppies (under twelve months) $475 and up
These fees help to cover the expenses of vetting, feeding, and housing the dogs we rescue. We rely solely on donations to continue our work in rescuing needy dogs.
HOW TO ADOPT:
•Step 1: Submit an application through our website at http://palsplacerescue.org/adopt/ or email palsplace1@hotmail.com for our application in PDF or Word format. Be sure to fully complete the application and ensure contact information for your veterinarian (if you have current dogs/cats in the home or within the past five years) and/or landlords (if renting) is included. We do check vet references, and we do verify if dogs are allowed in rental units. Omitting this information will slow the application process down. Pal's Place has no shelter facility. All our dogs are in foster homes or boarding facilities while they await adoption. Dogs can be seen by appointment once the rescue has approved an application. Any information we know about our available dogs is listed in their bios below this information. Please read the dog's bio thoroughly, we will not respond to emailed questions regarding our dogs if the information is already provided in their bio.
• Step 2: A volunteer will do their best to respond to your application within 24-72 hours of submission to schedule a meeting if approved. WE CANNOT HOLD DOGS FOR ANY REASON. The sooner we place a dog into a loving forever home, the sooner we can bring another in desperate need of rescue into our program. Please do not apply unless you are ready to welcome a dog into your home within three days of applying. If you are expecting a response, please check your spam or junk folder, as correspondence from us may end up there. If you haven't received a response within 72 hours, please email Samantha@palsplacerescue.org to verify your application was received.
• Step 3: Meet the dog! All adults living in the home must be present at your appointment. If all parties agree the dog is a good match for your home at the time of the visit, be prepared to take your new best friend home with you the same day. We send all our dogs home with a collar, a small bag of the food they have been eating, and their medical paperwork. An adoption contract and disclosure form will be completed at that time, and the adoption fee will be collected (each dog's individual fee is listed in the bio). Adoption fees can be paid via cash, check, Zelle, or PayPal. In the case of litters of puppies, we can no longer hold a particular puppy for visits due to a huge increase in no-shows and last-minute cancelations of meet-and-greet appointments over the past several months. An effort is made to schedule visits with puppies in the order the approved applications were received. Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake, high-kill shelters in Kentucky. We often have very little information about the dog's past before rescue. Breed and adult size are often educated guesstimates, and we cannot guarantee either.
