She loves other dogs, adores toys, and considers a securely fenced yard one of humanity&#8217;s greatest inventions.<\/p>\n\n<p>After all, where else is a girl supposed to practice her high-speed maneuvers?<\/p>\n\n<p>Shirley and her sister Laverne were found abandoned beside a road. Both appeared to have been cared for previously, but somehow ended up without a home.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fortunately, Shirley hasn&#8217;t let that experience interfere with her enthusiasm for life.<\/p>\n\n<p>New people? Excellent!<\/p>\n\n<p>New dogs? Even better!<\/p>\n\n<p>New toys? Now we&#8217;re talking!<\/p>\n\n<p>Shirley gets along well with people and friendly dogs, and she doesn&#8217;t have problems with food guarding. She&#8217;s already learned to come when called, although her formal education is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sit? Not yet.<\/p>\n\n<p>Stay? Let&#8217;s not get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n<p>Come? Absolutely!<\/p>\n\n<p>Especially if something exciting might happen.<\/p>\n\n<p>Shirley has plenty of energy and needs a family that appreciates an active dog. Her ideal home would have a securely fenced yard, other friendly dogs to play with, and humans who enjoy spending time with her.<\/p>\n\n<p>Aggressive canine roommates and apartment living are not on her wish list.<\/p>\n\n<p>What Shirley wants most is a home where she can be included, loved, and given plenty of opportunities to do what she does best.<\/p>\n\n<p>Have fun.<\/p>\n\n<p>And perhaps convince everyone else to join her.<\/p>\n\n<p>After all, life is too short to spend it sitting on the sidelines.<\/p>\n\n<p>Especially when there&#8217;s a perfectly good yard waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shirley is the self-appointed Director of Fun and Games, specializing in high-speed yard races, toy testing, canine friendships,
