History: Shelby is a sweet, happy and friendly girl. Unfortunately, her family dumped her, and she found herself alone, outside, in northern Manitoba. A lovely person has taken her in and saved her from having to survive on her own outside. Shelby will be making the journey to Ontario where she will be looking for the perfect family to call her own. She is house, crate and leash trained, but is a strong girl who requires an experience handler. She is incredibly friendly and food motivated which helps with her training. Although she is friendly, due to her size, a family with small children would not be recommended for her.
