Hi, my name is Nellie. I came up from Kentucky to Illinois for the Christmas holiday and since I have been here I have been enjoying my new comfy life and all my new toys. I have not met a toy that I haven’t liked, but I tend to like the ones that my foster sister has the best . I play a strong game of tug and am learning to love fetch as I run super fast. I get a little excited at times when I am having a lot of fun playing so I need a house that has older kids.As much as I play I love naps and I sleep through the night with my foster mom but they say I snore really LOUD. I love love ,kisses and hugs from everyone . I am a little over a year old and weigh 45 pounds. I am potty trained with timing and crate trained. I enjoy my morning and evening walks . I don’t like getting into a car cause that is still really new to me but I love riding and looking out the windows the entire drive after I get in. . If my water bowl is empty I will bring it to you to show you. I get along with my foster sister and visiting dogs but I am not a submissive girl so introductions would need to be done with monitoring. I seem to like boys dogs better than girls but I am super social when I’m out in public and have to meet and greet every person and dog I see. In the short time that I’ve been here. I’ve learned to sit and lay down so they say I’m super smart . If you wanna lay on the couch, I definitely can be your cuddly blanket, if you can get past my snoring . I take all my treats super gentle and enjoy my food . I am inquisitive and eager to learn. I am athletic girl who will want to exercise a lot as I am young and silly .
If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet!
The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. Adoption fees are the primary way that Starfish is able to continue to our mission to provide medical care, transport, and rescue to dogs in overcrowded shelters.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
*please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
