Meet 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.
