"My name is Shelby, and I'm an 8-month-old female domestic medium hair. I was found in a bunch of tall weeds as the grass was being cut on an empty lot. I could have been seriously injured by the lawn mower, but luck was on my side. I'm now in a loving foster home, getting all the attention I need. My foster home includes several other pets, so I'm well-socialized. As you can see, I'm a beautiful girl with lots of personality. Want to know more? Please email faye_117@yahoo.com."
