Shelly's Story

Hi, I'm Shelly, a 3 year old, 50 lb. Akita, American Pit Bull Terrier Mix and I'm a sweet and active girl with a big personality, a love for adventure, and a serious appreciation for attention from my humans. I may take a little time to settle into new situations and get fully comfortable, but I'm confident, social, and curious as I get to know my environment and the people in it.<br/><br/>Once I'm in my groove, my affectionate side really shines. I love being with my people, getting attention, and sharing space with those I trust. I'm the kind of dog who enjoys being part of the action, whether that's hanging out with you or heading out for a walk or adventure.<br/><br/>I do well with other dogs as long as they respect my space and play style. I enjoy social time, but I also appreciate polite boundaries and calm interactions. I am not a match for homes with cats. I do resource guard around my food with people, so I need a home that understands structure and management during mealtimes. Because of this, I would do best with children 12 and up who can respect my space and understand that I need to be left alone when I am eating. Clear boundaries help me succeed and feel secure.<br/><br/>What I'm really looking for is a home that matches my energy, appreciates my affectionate side, and understands that I do best with clear boundaries and consistency. I'm active, loving, and full-of-personality and am ready to share adventures, connection, and a whole lot of heart with the right family!<br/><br/>My adoption fee is $295 and I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. <br/><br/>Apply to meet me today!

The Asher House's Adoption Policy
The Asher House currently focuses on adoptions within Oregon, Washington, and Idaho so that we can provide post-adoption support to our adopters and animals. If you live in one of these three states and see a dog you’re interested in, please complete our adoption application. As part of our adoption process, we ask for two references and conduct a video home check. If we believe one of our animals could be a good match for you, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet for everyone in your household, including your current dog(s). This gives everyone an opportunity to meet and helps us determine together whether the adoption is the right fit. Our goal is always to create safe, loving, and successful lifelong matches for our animals and their adopters. All of our adoptable animals are on our website www.theasherhouse.com.
