About Nellie

Meet Nellie! Nellie is a playful Chihuahua mix brimming with curiosity and puppy love. This little explorer adores her walks and takes her time discovering the world around her. You’ll often find her perched by the window, keeping tabs on all the action outside. At just 6 months old, Nellie has plenty of energy and is honing her manners. She thrives in the company of another young, playful dog who can match her enthusiasm. Older, more relaxed dogs might not appreciate her spirited nature. A home where someone is around during the day would be ideal for her to receive the attention she craves. Nellie is still learning not to jump or nip when she gets excited, so a home without small children is recommended. She’d do best with kids over 10 who can appreciate her lively personality. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate companion, Nellie may be the perfect fit for your family. Could you be the one to offer her a loving home? She is already spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Start your journey together! Apply now.
