About Nelly

Nelly is a scruffy-faced hipster looking for her forever home. This playful female is a Terrier and Jack Russell Terrier mix, currently about 4 months old. Living in a South Carolina shelter, she's ready to join a loving family in the DC area. Nelly is in her prime socialization window, which means she would thrive in a home with experienced adopters who can provide proper training and ample playtime. She's well-suited for families with children and can get along with other dogs. Like all puppies under 6 months, she will need frequent potty breaks and plenty of exercises throughout the day, so potential adopters with standard 8-hour workdays will need to make arrangements. Nelly is eager for adventure and wants to explore the world alongside her humans. She’s bursting with youthful energy and will need to attend obedience school to become the well-behaved companion she's destined to be. In return, she'll offer unconditional love and loyalty to her new family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
