Meet Nellie, a beautiful, medium-sized Australian Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix with a resilient spirit and a big heart. She may be shy with new people, but once comfortable, she blossoms into a playful, affectionate, loyal companion. Nellie thrives with activity, structure, encouragement, and an engaged adopter. She enjoys long walks, wooded hikes, running at the dog park or farm, swimming, playing in water, fetch, and frisbee. Saved as a stray puppy, she has grown up with one family and is now seeking an active, loving home due to changing circumstances.

Ideal Home

Nellie would do best with an active, patient adopter who can provide exercise, structure, and companionship. A home without small children is the best fit. She can do well in small groups of dogs when the match is right and introductions are handled properly, especially with dogs who enjoy her active play style.

Ongoing Health

Nellie is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and maintained on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Training & Support

Nellie is crate trained, house-trained, obedient, and treat-motivated. She has a fast recall, knows more than 10 commands, loves puzzles, and is smart and eager to continue learning.

Application Details

• Begin by contacting the provider through Wags to learn more and see whether Nellie is a good fit.
