About this Dog
LOCATION: Euless, TXDOB:03/01/2023Meet Shelby – A Gentle Soul Ready to BloomShelby is a stunning black and white Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws. Beneath her elegant, statuesque frame lies the soft spirit of a dog who has weathered a difficult start and is now learning what it means to be safe, loved, and truly at home. She’s a timid girl, slow to trust but deeply affectionate once she knows you’re her person. With time, patience, and kindness, Shelby transforms into a loyal shadow who follows you everywhere, leans in for love, and headbutts gently to remind you it’s time for walkies or just some extra snuggles.She came from an abusive background and needs a soft place to land — ideally with a woman as her primary person and a calm, friendly dog companion to help guide her. She’s especially bonded with her foster’s two-year-old granddaughter and gets along well with cats and other dogs, including the foster’s German Shepherd. Shelby even enjoys camping trips and hiking adventures, especially when followed by her favorite treat: a bowl of ice water or a cheese cube or two.Shelby is fully house-trained, non-destructive, and while she was once crate-trained, she no longer needs one. She sleeps on a fuzzy bed next to her foster mom’s side of the bed and will let you know when it's time to go outside. She’s quiet indoors but will alert you if someone comes to the door. She walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and never wants to be left behind when it's time to hit the park. Her favorite game? Chasing her foster sister’s remote control car — a surprising burst of playfulness that shows her silly, clownish side.She does need a calm and structured home. New people and places still scare her, and she will bark or hide when overwhelmed. Gentle introductions, patient training, and consistency are key. A kind man in the home may be accepted if he is extremely patient and willing to go slow, as it took several months for Shelby to trust her foster dad.Shelby is a diamond in the rough, slowly but surely polishing into a sparkling companion. With the right home — one with love, understanding, and another dog buddy — Shelby will thrive and reward you with her quiet loyalty, her goofy grin, and her heart of gold.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!

Adopt Shelby and Receive Shelby'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, Shelby's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Shelby's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Shelby, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shelby'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 Shelby was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shelby’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Shelby’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, Shelby’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!
