My story

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

Meet Nellie!

Weight: 37 lbs

This sweet lovely gal is ready to find her forever family, Nellie came into us as a stray - she was found looking like she recently had puppies when she was found by our ACO but we couldn`t find them! Nellie was nervous for a couple days, but after making some relationships with our staff she quickly came out of her shell. Nellie has such a sweet demeanor and loves to curl up for attention. She walks great on leash and is a wonderful size for a companion to tag along wherever!

Nellie loves to play with other dogs, so we ask that any current canine residents tag along for a meet and greet! Nellie has seen some feline friends here and didn`t mind when they were trying to snuggle up to her so our staff will be happy to discuss slow, proper introductions for the best success for Nellie and feline friends! Please have the whole family tag along for meet and greets, kiddos included if you think Nellie will be a good fit!
