Shelby - 4 month old Black Lab






Update 3/6/10

My name is Shelby. I am 1 ½ feet tall and am 18 pounds of adorable. This is my story. I am not sure about the first three to four months of my life or when I was born, so my birthday now is March 1, 2010. That’s when my person found me. I was limping across the street and this big shiny thing was coming towards me, so I stopped. The shiny thing had my person in it, so I looked real hard at her and finished limping across the street. In a few minutes, she came back and picked me up. I could tell by her voice and her smell that she was the one I had been waiting for. She took me to a place with lots of other people who poked and prodded me, but also gave me hugs. One of them told my person that my leg was hurt and showed her pictures of it which made her sad. But we went home for lots and lots of cuddling and belly rubs. I got to drink and eat (boy do I love eating – I didn’t get much food in my before life and my ribs were sticking out). I’m trying to show my person what a good girl I am, so I never go potty in the house, don’t chew on anything I shouldn’t and even try not to bother the other furry one living here (she’s a lot older than me!!!, so I don’t know if she remembers how to play, but I’m going to show her how!). Anyway, on March 5, 2010 I had surgery and they fixed my bad leg. The knee knuckle had been crushed, probably by a car. It was never fixed and grew back crooked and unusable. So, now I’m back home laying on a soft lap recovering. I have 2 pins and 2 screws in my leg to hold it together while it heals. It’s a little chilly, because they removed my hair on my leg (what was that all about?). After I heal and the pins are removed, I will start rehab. So, maybe by summer, I can be running and jumping in the grass and playing frisbee. I’m so happy my person found me and that I have found my true forever home, but she could really use some help paying for the surgery – so far I’m a $4000 dog and all heart.
