About Nellie

Nellie is a delightful pitbull mix, around 3 years old and a true sweetheart. She enjoys cuddling, playing with her toys, and soaking up the sun while exploring outside. In her foster home, Nellie has shown herself to be incredibly well-behaved. During the day, she stays quiet and entertains herself, all while keeping an eye out the window. She's quick to seek affection with kisses and playtime whenever her foster mom is nearby. Nellie is house trained, with no accidents to speak of, and she willingly goes to her kennel at night, sometimes even tucking herself in. While she can get a little distracted by squirrels during walks, a gentle reminder brings her back on track. Nellie is friendly towards other dogs her size, but she gets a bit too excited around smaller dogs, especially if they reciprocate. She's generally suitable for homes with kids aged 10 and over. Nellie doesn't chew on things she shouldn't and shows no interest in garbage, making her a wonderful companion. She's ready to find her forever loving family and home!
