Shelby

Fill out an adoption form

Meet Shelby, your future best friend and ultimate playmate! This sweet, affectionate girl is always ready to be by your side, whether that means snuggling up for a nap in your lap or going on a fun adventure together.

This black-and-white beauty was recently rescued and is recovering from hip surgery, but she doesn’t let that slow her down.

A loyal and loving pup, Shelby enjoys playing with other dogs, so if you already have a furry friend, she's sure to get along wonderfully.
She’s eager to find her furever home and is excited for all the memories and adventures you’ll create together.

Shelby’s energy will keep you on your toes, but don't worry—she’s also got plenty of love to share!

Shelby walks beautifully on a leash and sleeps in her kennel like a pro. She’s working hard on her potty training, and with a little extra outdoor time, you won’t have to worry about any accidents.

If you’re ready for a loving companion who will bring endless fun and affection, Shelby is the perfect fit!

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

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.
