Nellie - Adopted!

Nellie is a beautiful 6-8 month old mixed breed girl and she is the most affectionate and loving little dog you will ever meet! She is a little shadow who is looking for her forever family.

Nellie’s personality:
Nellie will melt your heart, you will be in love within the first few minutes of meeting this gorgeous girl! She loves other dogs and their companionship helps her to feel safe. Her favourite thing above all else though, is love and affection from humans. Nellie is a little snuggle-bug and would love to curl up on the couch or the bed with you. Being a young puppy, she is very playful and loves her toys as well as going for long walks where she can sniff to her hearts content. She is a very adaptable young lady, having settled in very well with her foster family and learning all of her house manners. It is a 100% guarantee that this sweet girl will be a loyal and loving member of your family.

Nellie’s ideal forever home:
Nellies ideal forever home would be with another doggie friend!! Not only does she need the company to help her feel safe and ease her anxiety, she would love to run around and play with them. A secure yard is a must and tall fences would be preferable for Nellie. She is a still a puppy and she has not yet learnt all of the things that puppies learn very early on, so will need to be taught with patience and love. She is very intelligent, so this will not take long! A home where the humans are around more often than not would suit Nellie as she just loves people and their company. She is great with other dogs, cats and small animals. We anticipate that Nellie will only grow to be about medium size so she will be fine around young children also.

Nellie’s story:
Nellie, along with three other doggies, were left behind at a rental property for over a week after their previous owner was evicted. After being contacted by concerned staff at the real estate agent, we worked with local council rangers and the real estate to bring these doggies to safety. We understand that they have all spent much of their life in the backyard without much supervision, resulting none of the doggies having had the opportunity to learn much about the outside world. Nellie has been on medication for her anxiety since she came into care and it has really helped her. She is currently in a foster care home where she is getting used to being at home alone with her canine companions for short periods.

Nellie’s medical history:
Nellie came into care slightly underweight but due to a regular feeding routine and good food, she is now a healthy weight! Nellie is otherwise a healthy, happy girl. She has been desexed, fully vaccinated and is up to date with all flea, tick and worming preventions.
