Michelle aka Shelly's Story

Meet Michelle, aka Shelly Shelly is a 20-pound Shih Tzu mix, about 2 years old, who is looking for a very special adopter — someone patient, gentle, and understanding. Shelly is truly a wonderful little girl, full of love and affection. Once she feels safe and knows she won't be hurt, she becomes your shadow and will happily smother you with kisses. The hardest part for her is the beginning — those first few days when she may be timid and unsure. With time, kindness, and consistency, she blossoms beautifully. She does well with other dogs and cats and is also good with older children. Shelly would thrive best in a quiet, calm home with someone willing to listen to what we've learned about her and apply that guidance as they build trust and a bond. Shelly is absolutely amazing, and the person who gives her the chance she deserves will gain a deeply loyal, loving companion for life. A few important things to know: We are a foster-based rescue and do not have a facility. Dogs must be picked up in person in Bonifay, FL. We do not ship or transport dogs. A secure, fenced yard is required unless otherwise stated. All dogs are spayed/neutered, age-appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and started on flea/heartworm prevention.

Sammy's Hope Rescue's Adoption Policy

Please read before submitting an application We do require a approved application for meet and greets. Why? Because otherwise we would be meeting with people who we would not adopt to and it would use a lot of time and resources for no reason. Since I do 99.9% of the meet n greets it's my time and gas. :) Remember we do not have a facility. We are foster based. We do require a fenced yard. Why? Because dogs deserve a safe open area to play in off leash. We do not expect dogs to be left alone in the yard or to be outside dogs. I often hear that. That is not why we require a fence. We do realize this will exclude some people. It is still a requirement. Dog parks are not considered a fenced yard. They can be a very dangerous place for a pup. We also require a home check. Why? Because we want to make sure the home is a safe environment. You would be surprised what I have seen. I could care less if your home is spotless. It should be safe though. If money is a issue please address that before all other steps are taken. Adoption fees are required to keep the rescue open. We only exist because of adoption fees and donations. We are a small rescue with limited funds. Adoptions are never ever first come first serve. Applications are accepted until we get a good match. It may take 1 application for that and it may take 10. We are trying the very best we can to get forever homes not right now homes. Oftentimes people do not research breeds before applying and are not the best match. We adopt within 2 to 3 hours of Bonifay, Florida. If you have questions about a dog comments are missed so please message the page, call 850-280-3960, or email sammyshope@aol.com.
