About Nellie

Nellie is a 10-year-old, 5 lb sweetheart who arrived at Waggytail from Alabama. After a difficult past, likely spent as a breeding dog, she is now ready to embrace the calm, loving life she deserves in her forever home. This tiny girl has settled into foster care beautifully, becoming the ultimate cozy companion. She adores curling up in a soft dog bed on the couch, soaking in gentle affection, and staying close to her human friends. At night, she sleeps peacefully in her playpen with her pee pads and fresh water nearby. When left alone during the day, Nellie relaxes with her foster siblings, happily snoozing away without any signs of separation anxiety. Nellie is both pee pad and outdoor trained, sleeping through the night without issues. While she walks nicely on a leash, her little legs prefer a slower pace. Despite recently having a mammary tumor removed and losing most of her teeth, she has healed well and continues to thrive. She forms deep connections with her loved ones and displays a sweet, devoted nature. Nellie would flourish in a quiet home that provides peaceful routines, cozy afternoons, and plenty of love. She enjoys the company of calm, similarly-sized older dogs, and would do well with respectful older children and laid-back cats. If you're looking for a gentle best friend who will fill your home with warmth and unconditional love, Nellie is here to make your world a little softer and sweeter. What are you waiting for?
