Nellie

About This Dog for Adoption

Nellie's ideal home

Nellie can live with children of high school age but no other pets. We have no history for her and cannot guarantee that she is house trained.

Could you be Nellie's perfect match?

Nellie is a lucky girl who narrowly escaped being put to sleep in a stray pound. She's a real sweetheart who loves people and she looks like she has many litters of pups over the years. Thankfully she can look forward to a future with people who won't force her to breed or abandon her, but instead will make her the heart of their family. Nellie is very gentle and easy going and likes to go for walks. We've seen her apprehension to approach new things, but her curiosity does get the better of her and she likes to investigate. She's been great for all her vet checks and handling and really seemed to enjoy being brushed. She's been a hit with the staff at the centre as she's so happy to say hello to everyone, and pushes herself onto people for affection! We have no history for Nellie so we're unsure how she would be if left alone at home, but she seems relaxed enough in her kennel and we think she'd probably be OK by herself for two or three hours once she's settled in. Nellie has met lots of other dogs and although she greets them politely and has an obligatory sniff, she chooses not to interact any further. She's probably be happier as the only dog at home, and she certainly deserves to have someone's love and affection all to herself! Some calm pals for walkies would be nice. Nellie couldn't get in the car quick enough when we opened the door for her, so there's potential for day trips and other adventures with her.
