569 days. 💔 That’s how long Sheeba has been waiting in a town shelter, despite so many people sharing her, asking about her, and telling her story. And somehow, she still has so much love to give—and a smile that lights up when she’s playing fetch. 🥺 Sheeba would thrive as the only pet in a home with teens who understand her gentle pace. She needs a family willing to respect her boundaries around her toys and give her the patience, understanding, and love she’s been waiting so long to find. Please share Sheeba’s story and help her smile finally find the forever home she deserves. 🐾❤️

Shelter Bio:
Sheeba is a 5.5 year young Boxer with a heart as big as her love for tennis balls. The moment she’s outside, her sweet personality shines! She’ll look back at you with soft eyes, happily stay by your side, and remind you just how special the bond between a dog and their person can be. Her absolute favorite game is fetch, and she’s a true teammate. She’ll politely bring the ball right back, patiently wait for you to throw it again, and could happily play together for hours. When playtime is over, Sheeba is all about affection, leaning in for love and sometimes giving an excited little jump just to ask for another scratch or cuddle. Sheeba has made wonderful progress and continues to show her playful, loving side to the people she trusts. She’ll thrive with an active family who enjoys playtime just as much as she does. Sheeba is looking to be the only pet in an adult/teen home where she can soak up all the love, attention, and tennis balls she deserves.
