Nelly is a happy, playful girl with a soft spot for swimming—nothing makes her light up quite like water. She loves to explore, play with other dogs, and attack fallen coconuts with gusto. While she may start out shy around new people, Nelly quickly warms up and becomes loyal once she knows you. Her sweet, expressive eyes say more than words ever could. Nelly thrives in a home with lots of activity and ideally another friendly dog for company. A family that enjoys being outdoors, can give her regular swimming opportunities, and doesn’t leave her alone for long periods will be a great fit. She isn’t suited to a quiet home or one where she’s expected to entertain herself all day. She’s good with children, dogs, and even cats, and she’s house trained. If you’re looking for a loving, lively companion, Nelly is ready to join your adventures. Currently, Nelly is in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, and will be transported once adopted or placed with a foster.
