About Lady Nelson

Lady Nelson is officially applying for the position of Best Snuggler in Town and is looking for a full-time work-from-home companion. There's simply no one more loyal than Lady Nelson. She's fully housebroken, wonderful with kids, and incredibly gentle. We've tested her temperament in all the important ways—touching her paws, tail, grooming her, and even having kids nearby while she eats—and she remains calm, trusting, and completely unbothered. She sleeps through the night and is reluctantly accepting of limited crate time if she has to be home alone for a bit. She loves a good scratch and will really lean into it. Friendly and social, Lady Nelson enjoys the company of everyone she meets, but once she chooses her person, she stays close by their side. She's confident, affectionate, and has just the right amount of energy—enough to happily follow you around the house or join you for daily routines, while still being perfectly content to curl up for a cozy nap nearby. She's good on the leash for her walks and fine riding in the car. Her ideal home would have a human companion most of the time. While she does not seem comfortable with larger dogs, she might be willing to share her space with a smaller dog who lets her do her own thing. Although Lady Nelson may not have perfect vision or hearing anymore, she is still plenty mobile, enjoys exercise, and can manage stairs with ease. Lady Nelson seeks something simple—a quiet place to feel safe and a person to call her own. If that's you, apply today! Lady Nelson is approximately 11 years old and weighs around 10 lbs. She is currently fostered in Rockville, MD. Click apply to start the adoption process.
