About Nettie

Nettie is an 18-month-old female mixed breed dog weighing about 41 pounds, with a delightful blend of Australian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees traits evident in her fluffy white coat. This active and social pup thrives on inclusion and would be a perfect fit for a family who enjoys outdoor activities. A fenced yard is essential for her energetic zoomies, and having a dog friend around would help her settle into a new home with ease. Nettie is generally well-mannered but has her own views on leash walking, often believing it should focus on moving ahead rather than staying together. She is adapting to the concept of coordinated outings. With only limited experience with cats, she’s a bit cautious but could learn through patient introductions that cats aren’t necessarily enemies. This affectionate girl has an abundance of love to give, especially toward children over six who can handle her enthusiastic displays of affection. If you're looking for a charming, active companion who wants to be an integral part of your life, Nettie is ready to bring joy and a touch of white fluff to your home.
