About NELLiE

Nellie is a vibrant 9-month-old pup born on February 13, 2026. She comes from a lineage of a red golden retriever mom and a short-haired yellow lab shepherd dad. One of her standout features is her soft, floppy ears, which only add to her charm. Healthy and fully vetted, Nellie is looking for a loving home where she can thrive. She’d do best in a patient environment, ideally with a friendly resident dog. While she’s fine around young children, a proper introduction is important. Nellie is still discovering the world, and having a yard would give her space to explore. This resilient girl is learning to enjoy cuddles on the couch, tossing her toys, and sneaking sweet kisses to her furry friends. Born into an unexpected litter in South LA, Nellie hasn't had much human contact, which makes her all the more special. Her early life was filled with minimal exposure to home environments before she joined the rescue. All of her siblings have wonderful personalities, and Nellie is no exception. Adopting Nellie comes with a complimentary session with our in-house trainer, guiding her as she settles into a new family. Reach out to learn more about meeting this lovely girl and see if you can give her the forever home she deserves. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
