About Nellie (CAT FRIENDLY)

Hi there! My name is Nellie and I'm a sweet, 4-year-old Shepherd mix who was found wandering near a busy road. Thankfully, some kind people rescued me and got me all vetted and ready for my forever home! I can be a little timid when we first meet, but once I warm up, I'm incredibly affectionate and will be your best friend, especially if you have tasty treats! I love going on walks, playing in a safe yard, and receiving lots of love and belly rubs. I'm looking for a family to call my own and be treated like the princess I am!

Ideal Home

I'm looking for a family who can give me lots of love and attention. I'm good with kids and do well with both small and large dogs. Best of all, I'm cat-friendly and would love to have feline friends!

Ongoing Health

I'm up-to-date on all my vaccinations, heartworm testing, and monthly preventatives. I've also been spayed.

Training & Support

I know how to sit and wait for my food. I'm also a great car rider and sleep quietly through the night. I'm currently working on my leash training, and it's going well! I would love a family who can continue my obedience refresher.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • An application must be submitted before scheduling an appointment to meet me.
  • Dogs are introduced to prospective adopters by appointment only.
  • Due to the high volume of inquiries, first priority will be given to those with submitted applications.
  • All rescue work is done by dedicated volunteers, please be respectful of their time.

Transporation

I am currently being fostered in Tennessee, but I am available for transport to the East Coast. A transport fee will apply.
