Madi Olivier • September 4, 2019

Emily Lundell

Shelby is shy, but she quickly warms up to people. Once she’s comfortable, Shelby will ask for pets and treats.

Name: Shelby

Sex: Female

Age: Eight years

Breed: Shepard mix

Location: Flower Mound Animal Services

Shelby is very shy and will need some time to get to know people, but is very sweet and friendly. She loves to be pet and is quick to go from person to person to sniff them and get stroked, getting a little more comfortable and excited each time. Shelby is curious and loves to explore her surroundings, especially wherever the treats are kept – just to make sure they’re safe.

Shelby is well behaved and rarely jumps, nips or yanks on her leash. She also sits for treats and takes them gently, showcasing her lovable personality.

She hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs, but she seemed to be okay the short bits of time she was around them. Shelby is looking for a quiet home with older children and an owner that will give her plenty of affection.

About the Contributors

Madi Olivier, Editor in Chief

Madi Olivier is a senior and third-year staffer, although most people know her as the short girl who talks too much. The newsroom is her favorite place to be and she spent most of her time last year convincing Hale to let her stay after school for “just five more minutes.” However, if the door to C108 is locked, you can normally find her at gymnastics practice or in the kitchen trying to bake. Her speciality is anything burnt or overflowing from the pan. She’s so excited to be the editor in chief of The Marquee and to see what amazing, impactful stories her staff will publish this year.

Emily Lundell, Managing and Photo Editor

Emily Lundell is an early-grad senior. When she's not working at JCPenney, she's taking pictures, helping write her friends' college essays, spending hours on photoshop editing photos of her cats, and online shopping. She's beyond excited to continue making amazing memories and produce the last Marquee publications of 2019!
