I have had the pleasure of knowing Shelly for the past twenty odd years. Shelly has a three-year-old frenchie named Ferdinand and you would swear, by the way she treats him, that he was a true member of society. He is truly the king of her home and heart. She makes sure he is social and takes him and his best fur friends to parks and beaches as much as the Chicago weather will allow. Shelly shares a true, unconditional love for all animals. So much so that you can regularly see Shelly addressing the neighborhood dogs before their owners. She never forgets a furry face and never turns down their (sometimes) extremely wet love. If anyone, Shelly would be an incredible dog walker or sitter. She is the best one for the job!
