About this Dog
Meet Shellie! Shellie is a lively and lovable 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier weighing in at a perfect 12 pounds. With her adorable big ears and energetic personality, she’s sure to capture your heart! Shellie’s journey started in a dangerous place—waddling across a busy four-lane highway while very pregnant. Thankfully, a compassionate young woman risked her own safety to scoop her up and bring her to safety. Unsure how to care for a soon-to-be mom on her apartment balcony, she surrendered Shellie to Poquita Paws Rescue. Just six days later, Shellie gave birth to five puppies despite being thin and in poor health. Four strong boys survived, and she was the most devoted and protective mama! Once her pups were transferred to another rescue at 10 weeks old, she was finally able to relax and show her true sweet and playful nature. Shellie is a dedicated squirrel and toad chaser—she’ll stare up a tree or along the fence line until she’s called back inside or reminded it’s mealtime. She loves hanging out with her furry friends, piling up on the couch for siesta time before gearing up for another round of wrestling, toy stealing, ear pulling, and yard races! She has truly blossomed into a loving and affectionate companion. She adores pets, snuggles, and being close to her person. She eats and sleeps in her kennel, and while she’s housebroken, she may need a little extra reassurance during noisy storms. Leash walking is a work in progress, but she’s eager to learn! Food lovers, beware! Shellie is agile and determined when it comes to sneaking a bite of your sandwich or ice cream bowl if left unattended—she’s got some impressive skills! Shellie is spayed, microchipped, heartworm and tick negative, and fully vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $300. If you’re looking for a spirited, loving companion—or need a top-notch squirrel patrol officer—apply to meet Shellie today at poquitapawsrescue.org or submit an application. !

100% of Shelly's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Shelly.
Adopt Shelly and Receive Shelly'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, Shelly's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Shelly's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Shelly, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shelly'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 Shelly was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shelly’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Shelly’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, Shelly’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!
