Shelby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shelby
Age: Eight and a half weeks old
Gender: Female Breed: Collie, Golden Retriever Mix
Home: Apple Creek, Ohio, USA
 
   This is Shelby, our newest addition to the family. We brought her home on St. Patrick's Day, 2001, when she was just a little over seven weeks old. Her mom was brought in to Collie rescue here in Ohio in January, 2001. She was about ten days from giving birth to seven puppies. They were all girls and, of course, adorable. Since Collie rescue couldn't keep Shelby's mom, a friend of ours volunteered to let her have the pups at her house. So, my husband and myself were over there at least twice a week to visit them and choose one for ourselves. We must have changed our minds a dozen times but finally decided on this adorable little girl. She is a spit-fire but is learning her manners slowly but surely. She is attending puppy kindergarten now and is doing very well. She has two older sisters, a twelve year old Shepherd mix and a 10 1/2 month old Doberman. Shelby and Sere play almost all the time. That's one of the reasons we decided to get Shelby... a playmate for Sere. What makes Shelby special? Well.... she has added a special something to our home. She's always glad to see us when we come home and she loves to learn new things. We're sure she'll give us plenty of love and joy through the years.
