For those of you who don’t know, I have two sweet black cats at home. While out and about today I stopped in Ten Lives Club at the Walden Galleria and met Caleb, an incredibly sweet 10yo male black cat. As much as I would have LOVED to bring him home, I’m at my max for where I live. So I wanted to help him in his search for his forever💜

Shelby, the sweetest person, stopped by and immediately noticed Caleb, as he reminded her of her previous cat. Unfortunately, she couldn’t adopt him due to having other cats at home, but she decided to sponsor his adoption fee!!! Thank you so much, Shelby; I’m sure this will help him find his forever home soon 🖤🖤🖤

Hello!
All of you know Shelby, the fantastic trainer and the heart and soul of Compassionate Canine. Some of you may recognize me, but for those of you who don’t, I’m Holly and I am Shelby’s assistant for most classes and the face behind the social media posts.

Dexter and I are furever clients of Shelby and I cannot say enough good things about her and the amazing help and guidance she has provided me in training this fluff ball. Dexter and I have come so far as a pair and I owe so much of that to Shelby and her help, patience, and teaching!

You can see me and Dexter as students (rather than as an assistant) at the intermediate obedience class starting Monday June 30th as we continue our training journey!

If you’ve also completed a training session with Shelby and are looking for next steps in your training, come join us for 5 weeks of intermediate training! Call, text, email, or message to sign up or for more info
