Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nellie is currently in a foster home. To meet this sweet girl, text Rachael at 440-773-0270.
Meet Nellie, an incredibly resilient and loving soul who's ready to find her forever home! When Nellie first arrived at her foster home, she was a timid, scared little dog. Having spent her early life as a mother in an Amish puppy mill with little human interaction, everything was new and overwhelming for her. She hid from people, kept to herself, and didn't even know how to walk on a leash.
Fast forward three weeks, and Nellie's progress has been nothing short of inspiring! She has blossomed into a playful, affectionate pup who now understands that people can be kind and that other dogs make great companions. Her love for toys is boundless-she can often be found proudly carrying around and swinging toys twice her size with a wagging tail.
Nellie is still learning to perfect her leash skills, and although she's more comfortable now, she needs a bit of extra time and encouragement during walks. House training is still a work in progress, but when taken out regularly, she does quite well. Nellie does best in a fenced-in area where she feels more secure; on a leash, she takes a bit longer because she's still nervous.
Due to her shy nature, we think Nellie would do best in a home with older children who can be patient as she warms up to her new environment.
This sweet girl adores cuddling and being close to her humans. While she will willingly go into her crate, Nellie does cry when the door is closed, so a home without shared walls-like an apartment-wouldn't be the best fit for her.
If you're looking for a devoted, playful, and affectionate companion who just needs a little extra love and understanding, Nellie might be the perfect match for you. Reach out and meet this special girl today!

More about this rescue
Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” began in 1987 as a small group of animal lovers started a ‘grassroots’ movement, recognizing the desperate housing and healthcare needs of homeless animals. Their efforts began in the southwest suburban Cleveland area, transforming a family’s garage into an animal "shelter."
The ARF movement grew when the city of Berea provided us a small building, utility costs included. In return, ARF would always have a cage open for the city’s stray animals. Now, after 20 years of service and thousands of success stories later ARF continues to save lives and make friends. ARF is operated in large part by a group of very dedicated volunteers who give their time and endless love to the shelter's furry residents.
Our next big goal is to position ourselves into a roomier facility…a more spacious home to the area's unwanted and abandoned animals. We believe no pet should be euthanized or left behind because lack of such a place. Our facility is overcrowded and outdated by today’s animal welfare standards. ONLY, through the generous support of the community and the dedication of our volunteers, can we make this dream a reality.
2007 was record breaking for ARF with both animals served and operating costs. Much help is needed!
The Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” operates as a No Time Limit Shelter.
We are a 501(c) 3 Non Profit.
ARF's mission statement.... For the betterment of the lives of stray and abandoned animals, Berea’s Animal Rescue Fund, Inc. promises to:
Give loving care and companionship for as long as needed;
Provide shelter, food and medical necessities;
Seek quality homes through adoption programs;
Create public interest and awareness of animal rights and issues; and
Promote action and advocacy for all of the above.
