My name is Shelby. I just arrived. I am very young and need to gain weight. I have lots of energy and I am curious about everything. So far I have got along with the other dogs and don't seem to have any problems with kids. My story is all too familiar to the rescue folks, I was abandoned at a shelter by a family that didn't want me anymore.

Update 8/2/10-Hi I am Shelby.  So much has happened since I have arrived here.  I live in a house now and it is heaven.  There is always enough food for me.  I gained 7 lbs in my first week.  My foster family says I look so much healthier.  I love to play with toys:  cuz, bones, ropes and balls.  I am a busy girl, I play hard then I sleep hard.  I like to cuddle beside you when I am tired.  I have a large family here and I get along great with everyone, dogs, cats, kids and people.  I have learned so many words, I am just a smarty pants at least that is what my foster Mom tells me.  I still need lots of training, whatever that may mean.  I am really looking forward to finding my forever family.
