About Nelly

Meet Nelly! This gorgeous and fluffy girl came to the shelter as a lost puppy on June 9, and unfortunately, no one has claimed her yet. She's now on the lookout for a loving forever home where she can feel safe and adored. Nelly embodies everything a puppy should be: friendly, curious, playful, and eager to please. Already picking up basic commands like 'sit' and 'lay down,' Nelly is full of life and thrives on attention. Give her some gentle pets, and she'll roll over for belly rubs with joy. Remember, she’s a puppy, which means she needs an adopter with the time, patience, and energy to nurture her. At approximately 10 months old and weighing about 31 lbs, Nelly is up to date on vaccinations and will be spayed and microchipped upon adoption. Currently, she’s hanging out in kennel 47, waiting for someone special to choose her. Nelly may not have a known history with children or other pets, so a meet-and-greet at the shelter is encouraged.
