Sheley Rene Revis, MD,
with Her Pack of 6

The American Dog reports

Sheley, a physician and “mommy” to a pack of six, spends most weekends training and hiking with dogs or helping out at a dog rescue. If dogs are allowed, she’ll have a few with her. “They’re basically my kids,” she says. She had rescued Delilah, a Schipperke-Pomeranian mix, 11 years ago to befriend her then-single Aussie, Navajo. “She locked eyes with me and rolled over slightly while lifting her paw with this ‘Help me! Help me!’ look, and I fell for it. She’s the top dog in the house.” The rest of the family is all Aussie! In fact, all her dogs are rescues. Enzo (5 years old), Sydney (6), Haiku (3), Kalua (7), and McGrady (4) all star in photos that decorate Sheley’s office. “Many of my patients are dog lovers, and the pictures of all my dogs in my exam rooms are also a perfect icebreaker as well.” To the most recent pack member, Sheley has devoted a Facebook page, “McGrady, the Fabulous Deaf Dog, and Friends.” Sheley says, “Because of McGrady’s wearing his ‘I’m Deaf’ vest, we also met some folks from CapTel, who provide communication services for the deaf in North Carolina. They had never met a deaf dog before and loved to see what all McG can do!”
