Nelly is a small adult Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua mix with a gentle, loving nature. She’s spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on her Rabies and DHPP vaccines, plus heartworm negative. Nelly is a quiet companion and appreciates calm surroundings. She’s shy at first—she’ll often retreat under her blanket when meeting someone new—but with patience, she opens up and bonds deeply. Nelly thrives with other small, friendly dogs and relies on a confident canine buddy to encourage her. She’s cat neutral, simply because she hasn’t been introduced to any yet. Nelly is learning to walk on a leash and finds comfort in her crate. A secure, fenced yard is a must for her safety and peace, and homes with small children aren’t a match for her skittish temperament. Nelly is being fostered in Durham, NC, and she’s ready for a person or family who will let her blossom at her own pace. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
