Shirley has been with us since May of 2022. She was originally found as a stray locally however no one came forward for her. During her year long stay with us we were able to discover that Shirley was an actual stray. She was unsocialized, fearful of humans, did not know what a leash was or even how to walk on one. Over time she became comfortable with staff and learned we are her friends. Due to Shirley requiring a home with some more limitations than others’ can be overwhelming for someone looking to adopt. She is looking for the right human that simply just enjoys life as a carefree spirit. A human that can connect with Shirley like the staff here does but in her forever home. A human that does not have many strangers in and out of their home or a human that has older children pass elementary ages. Shirley is a fantastic companion for someone who drives a truck and loves the help on the road. Perhaps you have a work from home type of lifestyle and would love some attention from a dog who prefers to sit on the couch watching you work. We have an awesome doggy day trip program that Shirley has participated in with a volunteer. He has something lovely to add about her in his own home. "Shirley did wonderful this weekend and settled right in and made herself right at home. She is starting to learn some commands like sit and shake. She is very laid back and mild tempered for the most part. There is some puppy play in her still where she likes to do zoomies in the house and parkour off the couches. If you’re not paying enough attention to her laying on the couch, she nibbles at you lightly. Nothing hard or aggressive. She likes being your shadow, following me through the house and staying close to me in the yard."
