About Shelby’s Breed:
Our best guess is that Shelby is a Yorkie/Maltese mix – commonly known as a “Morkie”. These are small, affectionate dogs known for their playful personalities and silky, soft coats. These pups are affectionate and loyal, and bond deeply with their humans. They are a social, playful breed who do well with retired people or families with older children. Like Shelby, Morkies just want to be near their people and be loved.
Shelby may be missing a few teeth, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying her meals and treats with gusto! She’s a sweet, easygoing girl who’s still working on her potty training and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to help her stay on track and feel loved and secure.
Shelby’s Sweet Stats:
• Friendly and curious, loves attention and gentle scratches
• Good with other dogs, and open to meeting cats
• Shy around kids, but would do well with gentle, respectful ones
• Walks well on a leash, enjoys neighborhood strolls
• Crate-trained, but has some separation anxiety when left alone
• Potty training in progress, especially dislikes going out in the rain
• Loves cuddles, calm environments, and being near her people
• No aggression, just a little bashful at first
Shelby is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe, adored, and never too far from a warm lap. She’s the kind of pup who will follow you from room to room, curl up beside you for a nap, and greet you with tail wags and soft eyes every time you return.
If you’re ready for a gentle companion with a tender heart, Shelby is ready to be your loyal little shadow.
