About Nellie

Meet Nellie, the gentle giant who will steal your heart! At about a year and a half old, this Bloodhound mix is a sweet 93 lbs of love. With her enormous noggin and feet resembling dessert plates, Nellie's just as cuddly as she is big. She adores napping on soft spots, whether it’s floors, sofas, or dog beds. Her favorite activities include hand-holding, exploring with her nose, and chewing plush toys while enjoying belly rubs and frolicking in the yard with our other dogs. Nellie is house-trained and adapts well to her kennel, especially with a tasty treat or two. She travels very well in a vehicle, though she might prefer a spacious spot to catch her naps. Surprisingly, she’s quite the quiet lady; we haven’t heard her bay or howl yet. And yes, those big droopy jowls do come with a bit of drool! Nellie is ready to be your loyal companion, and we like to joke that if you put her in a trench coat, she’d bear a striking resemblance to McGruff the Crime Dog. Let Nellie bring joy to your home!
