Shelly

Shelly is a sweet natured, friendly girl who enjoys being with her people. She likes going on gentle walks out and about but can be worried by busier areas and other dogs so will need a patient and understanding owner that will provide guidance and reassurance where needed. She would love a calm, quiet home where she can build up her confidence and take things at her own pace. This affectionate girl has lots of love to give and will no doubt flourish in the right environment, making a wonderful companion.

Other Notes

Shelly can live in a flat as long as there is access to a garden. She can live with sensible teenagers of 14+ providing they will give her space when needed. She could potentially live with a dog confident cat as long as her owners will facilitate slow intros and teach her not to chase. Her owners will be aware of the breed's grooming requirements and the financial costs that can come with this. Shelly has been neutered and microchipped, will have received her first vaccination and is up to date with flea and worm treatment. She has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Lastly, every dog adopted from us will go home with 4 weeks free pet insurance
