Meet Nellie Bly, a curious, clever Collie mix (about 5-6 months old) with satellite-dish ears that may pick up signals from neighboring counties.

Like the trailblazing journalist she's named for, Nellie wants somewhere to go and something to do. She has a herding breed's brains and energy and would thrive with walks, training, enrichment, or even a little "job" around the house. A bored Nellie will find her own assignment, and we can't promise what story she'll investigate.

She's been good with the other dogs in her foster home, though her Collie instincts may kick in and she may try to "herd". An adopter who understands herding breeds (or is willing to learn) would be ideal.

For a young puppy, Nellie has also shown some nice independence and has done well spending time alone in a gated room and doesn't need to be attached to her person every second of the day. Once the workday is over though, she's absolutely available for all your cuddling needs!

Nellie is looking for an active adopter who wants a smart companion, not just a cute puppy. Give her walks, a ball, some training, and a chance to use that busy little brain, and we think she's going to be an incredibly fun dog to grow up with!

The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.

The Shelter is currently closed to the public during NYPAUSE due to the COVID 9 pandemic. If you are interested...
