Aloha… my name is Shelly
MY VERY FIRST PUP CUP!
TODAY, September 19, 2026, I had my VERY FIRST Pup Cup… and OH MY DOG, I LOVED IT!
Just look at my pictures! I was one happy pup enjoying every yummy bite. And because I’m such a good girl, I even shared some with my brother.
Yummmy!!! I think I may have found one of my new favorite things!
Tail Wags, Shelly
MY STORY
I’m just a little puppy, searching for my furever home… could that be with you?
Before I was even born, life was already uncertain. My mom, Sassy, was out there on her own, doing her best to survive. Kind people in the community helped feed her, but living on the streets is never easy—especially when you’re carrying eight tiny babies.
Five girls… three boys… and one very brave mama trying to keep us all alive. She did everything she could for us.
Then, something amazing happened… a kind woman stepped in to make sure my mom stayed safe and fed while she cared for us. And when we were about seven weeks old, another angel helped us find a foster home. Just in time too, because the cold and rain were coming.
That’s when everything changed.
For the first time, I felt what it was like to be warm… to be safe… to be inside a home.
Now I sleep in a cozy place, run around outside playing, and then come back in to rest without worrying about what comes next. I’ve learned how good it feels to be loved.
And my favorite thing?Putting my little paws around my foster mom's arm and holding on as tight as I can. I don’t just cuddle… I hold on. Because deep down, I think I’ve always been waiting for someone to hold onto.
I love people, I love playing in the water when the weather is nice. I’m discovering all the simple joys of being a puppy, belly rubs, sniffari adventures, playtime, and just being close to my human.
I’ve been to the vet, and I’m healthy, up to date on my vaccines, and even neutered. My foster mom says I’m a very good girl. I’m trying my best to learn everything I can so you will be proud of me. I am crate trainied, love my crate and sleep through the night. I go outside to go potty. My mom says I am a fast learner.
I’m ready now… ready for my Furever Home.
A home where I won’t have to wonder what tomorrow looks like.
A home where I can love YOU for the rest of my life.
My mom is small (about 14 lbs), and my dad, well, he’s the fluffy white guy in my pictures who looks like a poodle or poodle mix. He's lightly bigger than my mom. I’m one of the smallest pups of the litter and I am learning to speak up for myself. I will probably be smaller than my mom.
All I need now… is you.
I hope I’m the one you’ve been looking for, because I’ve been waiting for you.
