The rescue recommends submitting the application from a computer because some applicants have experienced issues when applying on a mobile device.
Submitting an application does not obligate someone to adopt. Furever After Rescue reviews applications and references before contacting potential adopters, and processing may take a week or longer because the organization is volunteer-run. Approved applicants may then be invited to a meet-and-greet. Separate application instructions apply to people living outside Georgia. Review Furever After Rescue’s adoption process.
Sheba’s adoption fee has been fully sponsored.
About Sheba
Meet Sheba, a loyal and affectionate Bull Terrier mix who has spent more than four years waiting for someone to recognize that she is the missing piece in their family.
Sheba entered Furever After Rescue after she was found as a pregnant stray. She safely delivered and raised her puppies while in the rescue, and every one of them eventually found a permanent home.
Now, after watching her puppies begin their new lives, Sheba is still waiting for the same happy ending.
Sheba is not asking for an elaborate life. Her favorite activities are wonderfully simple: walking with her foster mom, eating a tasty meal, cuddling with her humans, napping, and finding the perfect patch of sunlight in which to relax.
She is an expert sunbather who can locate nearly any ray of sunshine and settle in to soak up its warmth.
Characteristics
Affectionate: Sheba loves cuddling and spending time close to her humans.
Loyal: She forms strong bonds with her people and gives them her whole heart.
Smart: She already knows an impressive collection of commands and responds quickly to guidance.
Attentive: Her foster family loves how readily she listens and responds.
House-Trained: Sheba already understands her household bathroom routine.
Crate-Trained: She is comfortable using a crate.
Medium-to-Low Energy: She enjoys her walks and gets excited about favorite activities, but she is equally happy relaxing at home.
Food-Loving: Mealtime is one of the highlights of Sheba’s day.
Cuddly: Human affection and snuggling make her especially happy.
Sweet and Sassy: Sheba’s charming personality combines genuine sweetness with a delightful touch of sass.
Sunbathing Expert: She will seek out any sunny spot where she can stretch out and enjoy the warmth.
Training
Sheba already knows several commands and tricks:
“Sit”
“Stay”
“Shake”
“Down”
“High-five”
Her ability to listen and respond quickly makes her a rewarding companion. Her future family should continue reinforcing these skills through praise, treats, consistency, and positive training sessions.
Learning together could also be a fun way for her adopter to strengthen their bond while keeping Sheba mentally engaged.
Health and Vetting
Sheba is:
Up to date on vaccines
Spayed
Microchipped
Heartworm negative
Her adopter should continue providing routine veterinary care, monthly preventatives, suitable nutrition, and regular exercise to help her remain healthy and comfortable.
Life with Other Animals and Children
Sheba loves her humans deeply and would prefer to have them all to herself. She needs to be the only dog in her permanent home.
She also tends to chase cats, so her future home should not have any feline family members.
Sheba has spent time around young children and has done well. However, the rescue believes she would be most comfortable in a home with older children. Any prospective family should discuss its household with Furever After Rescue and arrange introductions under the rescue’s guidance.
Being the only pet will allow Sheba to relax, receive the individual attention she loves, and enjoy her home without needing to share her space with another animal.
Ideal Home
Sheba is searching for a family ready to give her the love, affection, and commitment she has awaited for more than four years.
Her ideal home will:
Have no other dogs or cats
Give her plenty of human companionship
Include older children rather than very young kids
Provide regular walks and moderate exercise
Offer comfortable places to nap and sunbathe
Continue reinforcing the commands she already knows
Appreciate her sweet, loyal, and slightly sassy personality
Include her in everyday family life
Give her the security of a genuine lifelong commitment
Sheba has already fulfilled the important role of raising her puppies and watching them leave for families of their own. Now it is finally her turn.
This affectionate girl has so much loyalty and love waiting for the person willing to give her a chance. With walks, cuddles, good meals, sunny resting spots, and humans to call her own, Sheba could finally experience the permanent home she has spent years waiting to find.
