About Nela

Nela has recently joined us from a high-intake shelter, and we’re eager to learn more about her. As a young female dog, she brings a medium build and a beautiful brown/chocolate coat. Nela will undergo some veterinary evaluations before we can fully assess her interactions with other animals. Although her training and background are still being determined, our dedicated staff will get to know her personality over time. If you're considering adopting Nela, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Our process operates on a first-come, best-match basis, ensuring that every adoption is a perfect fit. We recommend bringing all household members, including children and other pets, to the meet-and-greet. Once a match is confirmed, same-day adoptions are encouraged. Nela's adoption fee is waived, covering essential care like spaying, vaccinating, and microchipping. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
