Shelby - Local Foster

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Shelby, the playful pup who will forever keep you laughing, entertained and loved! She is currently fostering in New Hampshire.

Shelby was rescued from a small shelter in Arkansas by one of our amazing partners. She’s 26 lbs and 1 year and 2 months old.

If you are familiar with the “Shelby Cobra” race car, you will agree that her name is fitting. This little girl thinks nothing of her size…she loves to zoom around with her happy disposition exploring smells, enthusiastically greeting every dog she meets (big or small) and teaching her toys who’s boss. In-between her zoomies, she’ll stop to check in on you, give you a quick kiss on the nose, and then zoom on off for more fun.
We’re also certain she may take flight one of these days with those amazing bat ears!

While Shelby certainly has puppy-like energy, she knows how to mellow out when you do, snuggle well and is a DREAM in her crate when it’s time to quiet down. She gives the sweetest kisses and little hugs.

Scoop her up quick, she’s ready for her forever!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
