Shelby is a young pug cross, estimated to be between 2–3 years old, with a fantastic brain and a huge zest for life. She has grown into a truly fantastic little dog – clever, active, and full of character, the sort of companion who will keep you smiling every single day. She absolutely loves being around people and will happily follow you from room to room, always wanting to be part of whatever you’re doing. She’s very food motivated, which makes her both entertaining and a great candidate for ongoing training.
She enjoys the company of other dogs and plays enthusiastically, while she can live with another dog in the right home, she may also be happiest as the only dog where she can have all the attention to herself. She is friendly when out and about, behaves well on walks, and is happy meeting both dogs and people.
Shelby is a lively and energetic girl who will need an active household. She can walk for miles and would love a home that enjoys getting out and about. A good-sized, secure garden is important so she has space to run and play, alongside a consistent exercise routine. Given her intelligence, she would really thrive with some ongoing training – she is quick to learn but will push her luck if boundaries aren’t clear, so a confident and consistent owner will help her be her very best.
At home, Shelby is clean, settled, and sleeps soundly through the night downstairs. She can be left for periods and takes it all in her stride. She is affectionate and loving, but as she can get overexcited and a little mouthy at times (she has been known to try and nip noses in her enthusiasm), she would be best suited to a home without very young children.
She also has a rather unique and impressive talent – Shelby is exceptionally skilled at opening doors. Kitchen cupboards, fridges, freezers… if there is food involved, Shelby will find a way. She will need a home that appreciates her cleverness and can stay one step ahead, but in return, she offers endless entertainment, affection, and companionship.
Shelby has already overcome so much in her young life, and now she is ready to embrace everything a loving home has to offer. If you have been thinking about welcoming a fun, loving, and slightly mischievous companion into your life, Shelby could be the perfect match.
