About Nelly

Meet Nelly. Nelly is a sweet 10-year-old Cocker Spaniel mix weighing around 23 pounds. After the passing of her owner, she's on the lookout for a new home. This low-key girl isn't asking for much. She desires a soft bed, a peaceful environment, and someone to love her for the rest of her days. Nelly is quiet and uncomplicated. She's house trained and prefers a dog door, which allows her to come and go as she pleases without accidents. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she isn’t overly social; she mostly keeps to herself. Currently, she shares her space with her sister Kaya, and while we'd love to see them get adopted together, it’s not a requirement. She gets along well with men, women, and respectful children, staying content to exist peacefully. Nelly does show some excitement when the lawn mower comes out, proving she has a spark for the simple joys in life. She's a little picky with food and will need regular grooming to keep her looking her best. One charming aspect of Nelly is her little tongue, which sometimes peeks out, adding to her adorable personality. Nelly has no known medical issues and is ready for a new chapter in a loving home. If your dream dog is calm, affectionate, and happy to lounge while you go about your day, consider welcoming Nelly into your life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
