What is Rehome?
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
We adopted Nelly in December of 2023 and she’s about 2 years old now. She is a big, beautiful girl with a lot of energy and a lot of love to give. She’s also very strong willed, smart, and needs constructive ways to channel that intelligence. She’s very capable and quick to learn commands (already knows a few) and is food motivated. She will need an experienced owner who is familiar with the breed and can give her adequate attention, exercise, and regular grooming. She could benefit from some professional training and she needs works with walking on a leash. She is house broken and kennel trained. She loves to run free any chance she gets so a fenced in yard is a must (she hasn’t jumped a standard height fence with us). She does well with young kids, not tested with cats, and would love another doggie companion. Nelly comes with an extra large kennel and many other supplies.
