Hey there, I go by Shy Shy, but my friends sometimes call me Pretty Girl or Silly - guess I've got a few aliases. My heritage is a bit of a mix: part Lab, part Blue Heeler, and all wiggle butt! When it comes to snacks, I'm all about the healthy stuff - carrots, apples, and peanut butter are my jam.
Now, I've got a little quirk - I can be quite the alarmist around strangers. You see, I bark as a defense mechanism, but once I've given you the once-over and decided you're cool, get ready for a smooch fest. My favorite pastimes? Sunbathing, rolling in the dirt or grass after some epic zoomies in the backyard, and playing with toy bones, sticks, or my beloved PB-stuffed Kong. Oh, and squeaky toys? Don't get me started - they're the best!
Car rides? Absolutely! Feeling the wind in my hair is a pure delight. Sometimes, I'll serenade you with a little snore, and as for where I sleep, well, I've got my own cozy doggie bed, but I won't say no to a spot on the couch or even the bed for some cuddle action.
I've been doing great, and I'm still as sweet as ever. Just a little note, I can have some allergic reactions to food, but I'm on a special prescription diet, so no worries there. Never had an accident indoors, and I'm quite the communicator when I need to go outside.
So, if you're looking for a loving companion who's as unique as they come, visit www.godsdogsrescue.org to learn more about me. I'll be here, most likely on the couch, looking as cute as ever!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
