Such an aspiring dog has been living in the shelter for about 2 years. She has been named Baby Girl. This shelter dog is almost 4 years old and loves cuddling and playing. However, Shelby Backhus, the director, mentions that she can take a little bit of time before warming up to complete strangers. That’s understandable – after all, many dogs have gone through terrible things in the past which makes them a bit distrustful about human beings. Baby Girl is a shepherd mix. She remained a shelter dog without a proper home from 2017, December. The center is located at Capital Made Society in Lincoln.
