Kelly

Meet Kelly, a vibrant and athletic 37lb bundle of joy who is ready for an active life in her forever home. Kelly is a high-energy dog with a true zest for adventure; she is an expert at jumping over obstacles like baby gates and snowbanks, making her a potential star in agility or a perfect jogging partner. She is a social girl who absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys the company of the teenagers in her foster home. While she is friendly toward cats, her enthusiastic and high-energy approach means she would do best with feline siblings that are comfortable with a playful, spirited dog.

Because Kelly is so smart and curious, she needs a family that can provide her with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. She is a “happy camper” who is always looking for something to do, which means she is an expert at finding items on the floor to investigate if she isn’t kept busy with her own toys and chews. She is crate trained and already knows “sit,” “lay down,” and “leave it.” She is still fine-tuning her house training and house manners, so she needs a household that will provide consistency and continue to practice her skills.

Kelly is a strong girl who requires a patient family committed to her ongoing leash training. She is working on her excitement during walks, so she needs a handler who can manage her weight and energy. Due to her strength and bouncy nature, she would be a perfect match for an outdoorsy household with older children who can handle her enthusiasm without being knocked over. If you have an active lifestyle and are ready to invest in training, Kelly will be a loyal and fun-loving addition to your next adventure.
