Hey, friend! Shelly here.

I've survived worse and come out sweeter—now I'm ready to show you what a loyal, ball-chasing powerhouse with a gentle soul can really do.

They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.

I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I've been holding down the fort in New York, hoping someone like you would wander by.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

With a little luck, Halloween could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.

Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Shelly

About Shelly

Shelly is a Pit Bull Terrier born around 2015 who was rescued as a stray in Manhattan. Despite a difficult past that left her malnourished and with broken teeth, she has thrived in her foster home and remains sweet, loving, and highly intelligent. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, housebroken, crate trained, and knows basic commands. Shelly does best in a suburban home with a fenced yard and an active family who can give her plenty of exercise and playtime—she loves chasing tennis balls. She is wonderful with children and people of all ages but does not do well with cats; slow introductions are necessary if there are other dogs in the household.
