About Nelly

Meet Nelly, a young mixed-breed dog who came to us from her previous owner on October 6, 2026. While we're still getting to know her personality, she has already shown that she does well with children aged 2, 4, and 6, which makes her a great fit for a family home. Nelly can be a bit shy in the shelter environment, but with love, patience, and time, she will likely thrive and become a wonderful companion. Nelly has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, so she's all set to find her forever home. If you're interested in welcoming this sweet girl into your family, don't hesitate to reach out to our team to arrange a meeting! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
