Sweet Shelby!

​This is Shelby (FKA Sissy). Shelby ended up in a shelter in Atmore County, AL and no one came to claim her.  But Shelby has a wonderful new forever home with Lori and Tom in MA.

Tom tells us that Shelby is doing really well! When they first brought her into the house, it was almost like she knew she was where she belonged. She and Eddie (their other dog) get along great! Not long after they got Shelby, Eddie tore his ACL chasing their neighbor's dog back and forth along the fence line. Shelby was very patient while he recovered and they are now back to running around the back yard together.

Tom says for the most part, Shelby is a very quiet dog. She does not bark much, but recently has begun to "talk" when she is happy. Tom and Lori's oldest daughter is a Vet and she was able to clean her teeth, and remove two teeth and now she is eating much better.  Their daughter wants to steal Shelby! Their youngest daughter lives in Alaska and on a recent visit met Shelby for the first time.  She said that Shelby is the happiest dog she has ever seen! Her tail is always wagging and she really enjoys being wherever they are.

Shelby has been going to obedience training so she could socialize with other dogs and she was one of the favorites in the class!  At home, Shelby's favorite room is their 3 season room, even though it is getting a little chilly now!  She is the picture of contentment there or sleeping on the living room couch!

Tom says he is so impressed with the way SGRR works and has actually has begun to volunteer with phone interviews, virtual home visits and vet checks. He has also helped on two private transports and he is enjoying these volunteer opportunities!. Welcome Tom, thanks for volunteering!

Tom and Lori assure us that Shelby is enjoying the life every rescue dog deserves!
