All about Nellie
Animal ID: 2000391880

Nellie is a 1 year, 1 month old female Great Pyrenees/Border Collie who weighs 70 pounds.

Nellie is available through our "Adopt From a Foster Home" program. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please fill out the request form here: Adopt From Foster Form. Please do not make an appointment through our online booking calendar, as she is not available to meet on site.

Meet the adorable Nellie! Nellie is a sweet soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place, but has made exceptional progress since arriving at the shelter in February. Not much is known about her past, and she found the shelter environment very frightening. Thankfully, she has been blossoming in her foster home, where her true personality is starting to shine.

Nellie can be nervous in new places and around new people, but she has transformed into a completely different dog in foster care! Once she feels safe, she reveals her affectionate, silly side. She absolutely loves to cuddle with her foster family and is happiest snuggled up in bed with her foster mom while she reads.

This active, goofy girl also has a playful side and forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. Nellie does great in her crate and gets along very well with the large dog in her foster home. She would likely benefit from having a confident canine companion in her forever home to help continue bringing her out of her shell!

Because she is still building confidence, Nellie will need a patient home that can continue supporting her progress. Her experience with cats and children is unknown, so any interactions should be carefully supervised. For the right family, Nellie will be an incredibly loyal and loving companion. So what are you waiting for?! Submit the AFF form for Nellie today!

Nellie is:
- open to kids, unknown history with them, all interactions should be supervised
- open to cats, unknown history with them, all introductions should be done slowly
- open to dogs with intro

Note that many dogs do not reach full size until they are about a year and a half old. The weight listed here is the dog's current weight.
