About Nellie

Meet Nellie, a wonderful 8-year-old black Labrador Retriever who is looking for a home with her inseparable sister, Gracie. Together, they form a bonded pair that has spent their lives side by side. Gracie is a lovely 68-pound yellow Lab, while Nellie is a stunning 77-pound companion with a gentle and soulful nature. These sisters enjoy the outdoors and have spent their lives in open spaces, but they are now ready to embrace the comforts of home.
