Nellie is an affectionate young dog whose personality shines more and more every day! She's very smart and eager to learn new things. She bonds tightly to her chosen human(s), actively soaking up all the attention and affection she's offered! She enjoys walks and playing with her large-breed foster dog sibling. She also shows enjoyment relaxing nearby while the household goes about their day.

In time, Nellie shows increased confidence and comfort with new people, situations and routines. A little patience goes a long way to getting her there and she will make a loving and loyal companion in the right home! She is most confident and secure when her trusted human(s) are nearby and will thrive most in a home that can slowly work up to absences. Nellie is definitely a "girl's girl" and prefers the company of women. She's a bit nervous around men, and it will take her a lot more time (potentially several months or longer) to interact and relax with them the way she does with her lady humans.

Nellie has a nice balance of playful energy and calm self entertainment. Outdoors she is showing some interest in fetch games and loves a good game of chase or toy tug with a companion dog that's willing! She is very interested in squirrels and rabbits and will give chase and sniff them out. She is quietly content out in the yard or on the deck for extended periods of time, watching the birds and enjoying the fresh air. In the house, she's great at entertaining herself by chewing on her toys or relaxing near her people. Her go to chews are the Nylabone type chews and food-stuffed Kongs. She also really enjoys destuffing toys to get the squeaker out (score!). Nellie also asks for back scratches and belly rubs, she'll show you where!

Overall, Nellie is a loving dog who is looking for patient owners to helper her continue growing her confidence. She's showing keen interest to learn and adapt when her trusted people invest time with her. She is growing into a great companion for someone willing and able to spend that time with her.
