Meet Nessie, the enchanting beauty with a heart full of love! 💖 This outgoing lady is not just a pretty face—she’s a remarkable mix of Doberman and Husky, adorned with striking black and white fur, a fluffy plume tail, and those soulful brown eyes that can melt anyone’s heart! After being found as a stray in North Carolina and not claimed by her owner, Nessie made a brave journey north to Connecticut, ready to start a fabulous new chapter in her life. 🌟 At a healthy 50 pounds, Nessie is a perfect medium-sized companion. Her smooth, short coat is a breeze to maintain, making her even more delightful to have around. Although she can be a bit shy when meeting new faces, it only takes a little love and patience for her to warm up and transform into a fiercely affectionate cuddle buddy! She loves leaning in for those oh-so-satisfying ear scratches—just watch how her eyes light up! 🥰 Being just a year old, Nessie has a youthful spirit but is not as hyper as some of her Husky pals. She thrives on exercise and mental engagement. This smart girl has already passed several Canine Good Citizenship tests, proving she has the intelligence and enthusiasm to learn. With some dedicated training, motivated adopters can help her achieve full CGC certification, keeping her sharp and happy! 🧠 Nessie would flourish in an active adult household, or with a family that includes older kids who understand her needs as a rescue pup. She dreams of being involved in family activities—whether that’s joining for a run or a hike, or even camping trips! 🏕️ But remember, she’s not one to be left alone in the backyard; she wants to be part of the action! Social and playful, Nessie would fit right in with other dogs, although her feline friends are still a mystery. Her house manners are impressive—she’s house trained and crate trained—but like any new pet, some occasional accidents may happen during her adjustment. Rest assured, this girl is in optimal health, recently spayed, and has had all routine vaccinations, deworming, and health screenings. If you’re feeling that spark, why not make Nessie a part of your family? Apply to adopt her, and experience the joy she brings through the exceptional Buddy App! Don’t wait—let that heartwarming journey begin! 🐾💕
