Shelby Australian Shepherd Alexandria, VA

Shelby is now available for adoption!
Shelby is a 1-2 year old black tri with an adorable natural nub half tail. She is a great weight at 44 pounds. She came to us as a stray from a rural Virginia shelter partner.
Shelby loves people and other dogs alike. She is extremely affectionate and cuddly. She enjoys play and chase with other dogs. While she is a nice medium energy level, she does require adequate mental stimulation in addition to proper exercise. If you don't give her something to do, she will find something - she has a mischievous flair! She likes to be near her people and is a high velcro girl. Shelby has not been exposed to cats.
Shelby is house trained, but she does not enjoy a crate. She is also great on a leash and likes to go for walks. She is scared of parked mini vans for some reason, but her foster is working with her to overcome this phobia.
Shelby will thrive in a home that will give her plenty of exercise and love. She's ready to be your new best friend! A fenced yard is ideal.
Apply to adopt Shelby today. She may be a candidate for foster to adopt. If you are an approved ARMA adopter and are interested in Shelby, please contact the volunteer that conducted your home visit.
