Shelly

Shelly had an unfortunate life before she came to us. She was brought in by a good Samaritan who found her on the side of the road. She was emaciated, covered in fleas and ticks, and severely injured. It appeared as if she had been hit by a car days before she was found, and was likely dumped out by her former owner rather than treated for her wounds. Shelly suffered from a broken pelvis, as well as infected open sores inside of her leg. Despite all of this, she is still a sweet, happy girl. Her recovery has been nothing short of remarkable, as she fights to live a good, long life every day. She does walk with a limp still, but she gets around just fine on her own now. Shelly really loves other dogs that are her size or smaller, and bigger dogs make her nervous. She is only about 25 lbs and will likely top out at 30lbs when she has more healthy weight on her. Shelly is also an older girl, sitting at 5-6 years old. Because of this, she has a low energy level, and mostly just wants to lay around with her person or chew on her bone. She isn't great in a kennel, but she does fine being left in our bathroom here at the shelter with some puppy pads. She has learned how to use the pads very quickly, and will stick to them well. We are working on leash training, and she will need someone with patience to train her to potty outside. I'm not sure she's ever been an inside dog. But she would be amazing in a quiet house where she can get a whole lot of loving because that's all she wants! Shelly is fixed, vaccinated, and HW negative. Adoption fee is 80$.
