About this Dog
Shelton shares many attributes with his sister, Lainy, both being delightful puppies rescued just in the nick of time from a grim fate as one of three siblings facing euthanasia. He too is shy at first but warms up quickly. Upon arriving in our care, Shelton was afflicted with worms, fleas, and ticks, but we have since rid him of these pests. Despite his initial shyness, likely stemming from time spent in a daunting animal control facility, Shelton's natural curiosity and sweet demeanor shine through. He is full of puppy love, eagerly offering licks, wagging his tail, and showcasing an infectious energy that makes him an absolute joy to be around. We estimate him to be about 5 months old and weighing about 20 pounds. Due to his current small size we anticipate that he will stay small to medium sized when full grown. Without seeing a mom or dad, it's always hard to determine a breed. He may have some hound in him, but your breed guess is as good as ours! Shelton has a remarkable ability to get along with dogs of all sizes and ages. While he hasn't yet encountered cats, his friendly nature suggests he would adapt well. He's wonderful with children, though his exuberance means he might inadvertently knock over small toddlers in play. Although he has not yet mastered leash training or housebreaking, he is comfortable in a crate and enjoys car rides. Currently living in a roofed outdoor kennel in Texas, Shelton is an adaptable and charming pup, ready to bring happiness to his forever home. Personality: friendly, playful, affectionate, shy at first, energetic Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs. Has not been cat tested yet. Training: crate friendly Estimated date of birth: 11/3/24 Weight: approximately 20 pounds Medical: Fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped Location: Shelton is currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

Adopt Shelton and Receive Shelton's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Shelton's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Shelton's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Shelton, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shelton's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Shelton was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shelton’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Shelton’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Shelton’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
