My name is Shelley and I’m a 5-year-old Border collie mix. I arrived at Kane County Animal Control as a stray, and nobody ever came to get me.

That’s OK. The great outdoors is my passion. Give me some land, lots of land, and I’ll explore every part of it, over and over and over, even though things outside sometimes make me sneeze. The kennel staff has me on Benadryl, but I’m totally OK with that as long as I can still be outside.

As you can tell, I’m a very independent young lady, but I love people and would like to have a new forever family. My bark is loud, but I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just letting you know I need some attention at the moment. I’m also very smart, so if you want to teach me things, I betcha I’ll pick up real quick.

Come visit me at the shelter, and let’s go exploring together!
