Carroll Shelby (Shelby for short) is one of four girls in a five puppy litter. She is a sweet girl who loves to run and play. She is the cuddler puppy in the litter. She does not mind playing by herself but loves to wrestle with her siblings. She enjoys sniffing around the yard, chewing on toys and laying on the outside couch and pillows. She is working on car rides in the crate and loves to look around when they are out and about in the shopping cart.
Shelby is very smart and loves to dig and pull at the turf in the play area. When Shelby has finally tired herself out, she heads right to the bed in the crate. She has found her bark but does not use it often. She does do some whining and a small howl when she is awake and ready to get up to pee but is usually the last to get up. Shelby is working on potty training outside only and alerting at the door. However, she does mostly use a pee pad when she does not alert. Crate training to be in the crate by herself is the next progression she will be working on. Shelby does sleep in the crate overnight with her siblings currently. The foster family is also working on leash training so that it will hopefully be an easy transition in her fur-ever home.
She is very gentle and has always been interested in being picked up and loved by her foster family which includes a 3 year old. She is very patient with the 3 year old and likes to follow her around. She loves to greet her when she gets home from school and will try to beat her siblings to be patted first. She really enjoys checking on the 3 month old baby when she is crying or making noises. She loves to give sweet kisses and jump to be picked up. She loves to be tucked into a blanket and just relax once she has worn herself out. She is very curious of the foster families 13 year old small dog and is submissive to her.
Shelby will do best with a family that is active and can spend lots of time working with her. She loves to be outside and exploring. She would love to have as many working jobs as possible. But best that she has at least one active job to keep her busy. She will love to have tons of places to explore and run.
