Hi, I'm Shelton! I am a happy fur-boy with a winning personality! I very much enjoy playing with other dogs. I've gotten along with all the other dogs here at Desert Haven, which is where I'm living. I didn't always live here, however. Since I was a small puppy, I had a family who loved me. One day, they brought me here to Desert Haven because they weren't able to keep me any longer. Wow, that was a surprise and a shock to me because I lived with my family, which included my parents and my fur-siblings --both dogs and cats-- very happily.
But I can't change the past, I can only look toward my future. And I know my future is bright! Being surrendered caused me to be a little hesitant when meeting new people. I'm sure you can understand. So, when we first meet, I might act a little shy, but I warm up pretty quickly. You will simply need to give me a little time to get to know you. When you sit near me, and give me your patience, I will reward you with my love. I will come to you and you can pet me and I will enjoy your touch so much.
The past few months, I've adjusted well to living here at Desert Haven, where the volunteers are taking good care of me. But, I really really hope that I can find my forever family soon. I enjoy walks with people and giving kisses. I show a lot of joy on my face and I have a lot of joy in my heart. I am ready to share all that I have my very own family. Is it you? Come meet me soon to find out. Love, Shelton
