About Nellie Bly

Meet Nellie Bly, a spirited Collie mix around 5-6 months old, who's as curious as she is clever. With those unique satellite-dish ears, you might say she's well-equipped to explore the world and discover new adventures. Like her namesake journalist, Nellie yearns for activity and stimulation. This active pup has the intelligence and energy typical of herding breeds and would benefit greatly from daily walks, training, and engaging activities. In her foster home, Nellie interacts well with other dogs, though her herding instincts might shine through as she attempts to round them up. An adopter who understands herding breeds or is eager to learn would be perfect for her. Despite her youth, Nellie displays a commendable level of independence and doesn't need to stay glued to your side all day. However, once the day's work is done, she's ready for all the cuddles you can offer! Nellie is seeking an active home where she can be a smart companion, not just a pretty face. Give her the walks, the challenges, and the time to stretch that busy little mind, and she'll grow into an incredible dog. Ready to meet your new best friend? Hit apply and let’s get started.
