My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Breed: Chow
DOB: 7/9/2022
Gender: female
Altered: yes
Coat: long
Size: medium
Color(s): black
Description:
Hi, I'm Nellie, an affectionate and loving Chow that loves to play with my 3 foster siblings. I still have my sassy Chow moments, but I am eager to learn and continue to grow into the amazing dog I am today. I came to CARL as a very fearful and not socialized puppy, but my foster family took the time to gain my trust and teach me new things, which has allowed me to flourish and become more sociable and outgoing, but I still am slightly nervous and reserved with new people. I will still definitely need continued socialization and structure/consistency to ensure I maintain my confidence and overcome my shyness and nervousness. The more I learn and trust, the less nervous I am.

I am currently living with 3 other dogs, and we get along. I am definitely looking to be the alpha, which doesn't always agree with other alphas in the house. I am both crate trained at night and potty trained. I LOVE long walks and I've been doing good with a gentle leader, but I still have some room for improvement on my walks. My foster mom has been working with me and I'm improving daily. I am a little reserved with introductions to strangers, so it might take a little bit before I feel comfortable to come up to you. Please go slow and take your time when coming up to me. Once I get to know you, I become a loving girl who wants to play with my toys, roll around being silly and chase lizards, but I also love to curl up on the couch or be right at your feet, just as long as I'm close by.

If you're ready and able to give me a lifetime of love and wonderful memories, please fill out an application to meet me.
