Shellie is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

Mommy needs a home.

Shellie is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 2 year old, 35 pound, female, Hound mix.

Shellie was picked up as a stray in Imperial County and taken to a rescue. She and her eight puppies were transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program.

The little family went into private foster care in the home of a Rancho Coastal Humane Society volunteer. Now the puppies were old enough to be adopted and Shellie needs a new home. This is a very sweet dog.
