Here’s Your Quick Peek:

Shelby is a spirited, loving Australian Shepherd/Doodle mix puppy with a huge personality and a heart full of joy. She’s smart, curious, and playful — always ready to explore, chase toys, and make new friends. Shelby adores other dogs, both large and small, and thrives with canine companionship. She’s unfazed by cats and loves being part of an active, social environment.

Shelby is affectionate and full of energy, often jumping up to give kisses and curling up beside her people or her brother at bedtime. She’s incredibly sweet and kind, with a gentle soul that brings happiness to everyone she meets.

Must have: A physically fenced yard (4 ft or taller) and a family ready for the joys and challenges of raising a puppy.

Exercise: High — Shelby needs daily playtime, walks, and socialization.

Best with: Homes with another well‑behaved dog or families who can provide plenty of attention and activity.

Not ideal for: Homes where she’d be left alone for long periods — she experiences mild separation anxiety.

Energy level: High — playful, curious, and full of life.

Shelby is up to date on vaccines and dewormed. She’s still growing and will likely reach 30–40 lbs when full‑grown. She sheds and will require regular grooming.

Good with dogs: Yes — loves all dogs.

Good with kids: Yes — gentle and affectionate.

Cats: Unfazed.

Fun fact: Shelby loves to jump up for kisses and destroy chew toys with enthusiasm — she’s a happy, silly girl who just wants love and joy in her forever home.
