== Personality ==
Shirley is a mystical fortune teller whose main hobby is casting curses on those who defy morality. She despises the greedy and the inhospitable and subjects them to spells that only repair them when their sins are reversed. Ironically, she is very fond of money, charging heavy fees on clients and selling herself on television are some of the ways she is obtained. This is probably because she is poor (as shown in Shirley's curse). Shirly seems to be a good listener to Courage when she's able to understand his blabber tone (due to perhaps being a dog herself).

*Play the saxophone 
== History ==
Shirley's first known curse was brought to famous pianist Velvet Vick, confining him within his own record in the episode The Record Deal. The spell will allow her to escape when the album was played, however she buried it deep within a chest, eliminating that possibility. Her services as a spiritualist are advertised on the channeling channel. It is in this way that she was found by a farmer trying to communicate with her deceased brother of hers. After warning him of the consequences of contact.
== Trivia ==
* Shirly reveals she's the only one to understand Courage's Blabber speech about Eustace being responsible for the unexpected consequence. This is due to Shirly being a dog herself despite she speaks normally then Courage. 
* Most fans believe Shirly is Courage's love interest despite she seem's more or less elderly to him while being the only female canine in the show.
