Shelly is a Border Collie / Lab mix. Her est dob is Nov 2010. She is a very calm, loving little lady. She gets along great with other dogs and ignores the cats. She loves getting attention and playing with her toys. When she came in, her face and eye where extremely swollen and infected. After cleaning it and giving her antibiotics, the swelling went down to show a piece of loose bone just under her eye. The piece of bone was removed and her face is now healed. She has a little bump that the vet said may or may not go away but it does not affect her in any way. She is house trained. She knows sit and always sits for a treat or her dinner. She is crate trained. Please contact Vicky at AARF@Embarqmail.com for more information about Shelly or to schedule a meet and greet.

It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
