Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Nellie is a sweet little terrier mix, estimated to be around 4 years old, and her before-and-after photos tell quite a story.

When Nellie first arrived, she was severely matted and in heartbreaking condition. It was clear she hadn't received the care she deserved. But after a much-needed grooming appointment (and lots of gentle TLC), Nellie is feeling so much better - and it shows. Beneath all that neglect was an absolutely darling little dog just waiting to shine.

Now cleaned up and comfortable, Nellie's true personality is coming through. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and grateful for attention. She loves being doted on and seems so happy to simply feel good again. There's something extra special about a dog who knows they've been given a second chance.

Nellie would thrive in a loving home where she can continue to blossom and be cherished the way every dog should be. After everything she's been through, she deserves a soft bed, kind hands, and a family to call her own.

If you're looking for a loyal little companion with a resilient spirit and the sweetest heart, Nellie is ready to meet you.
