Shelby is a young female black lab. In Shelby's short life people and other dogs have scared her quite a bit. We are working on making her feel safe. Little by little she is trusting us more and learning that she will not be hurt ever again.

She is trying very hard to work with us on her training and social skills. Given how beautiful she is, it is hard to imagine why she is so scared. What Shelby needs is a confident and compassionate guardian that will build trust through gentle training.

When Shelby understands that her "person" will protect her and will teach her how much fun being a dog with a loving family can be. Her prior life and fear will disappear. Do you have what it takes to turn this young dog around? She is fearful not aggressive.
