Story
Meet Shelby This sweet 3-year-old girl has had a tough journey. Shelby was once adopted, but sadly, her person passed away. After that, she was boarded at a kennel facility in Spring Valley, San Diego — and no one ever came back for her. Shelby is shy and timid, but behind those gentle eyes is a heart that just wants to feel safe and loved again. She’s been living in a kennel for far too long and deserves a patient, kind person who can show her what it means to have a real home. The Heroic Tail Rescue is stepping in to help Shelby find her forever family — and will even provide free training if needed to help her adjust and build confidence. If you’re ready to give Shelby the love and security she’s been waiting for, please send us a message or apply online at www.theheroictail.orgOctober 6, 2025, 2:30 am

Hi, I’m Rosy. When I was just a baby somebody threw me in the trash , I was scared, alone, hungry, and thirsty. Finally a nice lady found me and took me home. I thought I was finally safe. But she gave me to somebody without knowing much about them and they let me get hit with a car. I was in a lot of pain for ten days without medicine or vet care. Finally my mom found out about me and came and got me. She took me to the vet and my leg got fixed. She takes good care of me and I have a big sister I love to play with. We have so much fun playing with toys, wrestling, and going for walks. I love swimming at the beach, digging in the sand, and expliring. learned how to go potty outside and my mom and sister are teaching me new things every day. I am ready to go to my forever home now. I would like a home with another dog, I get lonely without company. If you would like to know more about me email my mom at dgobe9@hotmail.com
