More detail:
2026-11-05: Shelby Girl is a beautiful petite 1 yo yellow lab weighing in at a perfect 58 pounds! She is super-friendly and when she gets to know you she will lean on you for pets. Shelby can be a bit timid with men, but comes around with a few treats! Shelby loves to go for car rides - we've been to the local coffee shop, Lowes and even the Blueprinter for office supplies. Shelby is not a big jumper (4 on the floor!), and people just love her! Shelby Girl does show some interest in cats, but she would be fine with a dog-savvy cat. She doesn't escape, she wants to be with you whenever possible. She walks great on a leash - just a bit of excitement at the door. She likes other dogs, is interested in them on walks but not reactive at all. Shelby was a bit too playful with a smaller 40 pound timid dog, but she did great with dogs her own size and energy level. She doesn't bark much at all, she doesn't fence fight but is always interested in sniffing who is on the other side of the fence. Shelby has lots of energy, but settles down nicely after a bit of exercise - and is happy to snooze while I work or lay outside in the sun. Shelby Girl is pretty chill around the kitchen - she does not counter surf or resource guard her food. Shelby knows the cue, 'go potty'. She is crate trained, and at night she will let out a little cry if she has to do her business - but as with all dogs in new environments, she will need to be taught with frequent trips where to go during the day. Shelby loves to have things in her mouth - she loves toys and will take the stuffing out of a toy but doesn't eat it - so maybe toys with no stuffing will be best for this girl! She recently learned the virtues of a comfy dog bed, she is a very curious girl and is fascinated with all new things like mirrors, ceiling fans, etc. Shelby's foster mom says Shelby is learning in leaps and bounds. Because Shelby was kept outside by her previous owners, her foster mom mostly had to work with Shelby on potty training and some mouthiness. Shelby has made great strides in both, but maybe no families with young children for this girl. Like all 1 year old labs, Shelby is a diamond in the rough and will be a great addition to your family with a bit of training.
