Hi there! Shelly here.

I've been through rough times, but I'm thriving now—smart, sweet, and ready to chase tennis balls with someone who gets how amazing I am.

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, Labor Day 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, a beautiful Pittie, was rescued from Manhattan ACC where she had been brought in as a stray, with broken teeth and was emaciated at only 24 pounds!! She is thought to have been born in 2015. Her foster mom has been taking such good care of her and despite her obvious neglect, Shelly remains a very sweet and loving girl, she is super smart and would do well in a suburban home with a fenced yard and an active family who can devote time to her and to make sure she gets enough of her favorite activity. . . chasing tennis balls! She is great with kids and people of all ages. She does not do well with cats, and slow introductions are required if there are other dogs in the home. Shelly is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, housebroken, crate trained and knows basic commands. Please apply online if you are interested in adopting Shelly: http://www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org Her adoption fee is $300. All pets are current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.

Good to know
