About Nellie

Meet Nellie: a petite sweetheart ready for a fresh start. This young adult dog is gentle and quiet, with an adorable little underbite that adds to her charm. Weighing in at just 16 pounds, she is the perfect size for anyone seeking a loving companion. Nellie has a short, smooth sable coat, easy to maintain, and she is already spayed. Not only is she tidy, but Nellie also has a big heart—the kind that opens up to those she trusts. While she may be a bit shy when first introduced to new people, she warms up quickly, evolving into a devoted shadow that thrives on closeness and gentle attention. Currently at about 1.5 years old, Nellie has moved past the rambunctious puppy stage, but she still has youthful energy and is eager to build a happy life with a caring family. She came to us from a shelter in Texas, escaping euthanasia for another chance at happiness in Iowa. Now, she seeks a calm home where she can feel secure and cherished. If you're looking for a sweet and tender-hearted companion who loves to be held, Nellie is waiting for you. Help her write the joyful ending she deserves! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
