Nelly is pure sweetheart. She's done extremely well adapting to her foster's home; house-trained, crate-trained, and not a single accident in the house.

Nelly loves playing with other dogs, and equally enjoys playing fetch and tug-of-war with her humans. She's savvy enough to bring her humans different toys to encourage them to play with her.

She's a big fan of couch cuddles, and will give a gentle nudge to entice further pets!

Nelly does great on a leash and is working on heeling. She has lots of fun at the dog park, happily greeting other dogs and humans, and sometimes running like the wind.

Nelly would do great with any family with lots of love to give, including a family with children! She would also do best with a family that has another dog.

Adoption fee: $395.00
