Nelly
Nelly is a loving girl who seeks positive attention and engagement from her people and pretty much everyone she meets. She adores cuddles and laptime and will soak up your attention, as she is a big fan of pets and scratches. While she loves to play, her favourite buddy is you, so we are looking for a home where she will be an integral part of your everyday life. She would love a canine buddy in the home for play!
She is still very much puppy-like and can be mouthy when excited. Catching her with a sit command or by petting her before she starts mouthing really helps. She is learning but that puppy brain leads her astray! She would benefit from structure, fun exercise adventures and all of the love.
She is very food motivated and we know she would love to go to positive-reinforcement training classes. She is great in her crate and with regular outside breaks she is near house-trained but does require continued positive reinforcement and may have accidents as she learns in a new environment.
After a good day of play with her canine buddies and her 2-legged foster mom, she is super cuddly. and goes happily in her crate into her comfy bed at night with the offer of a cookie.
She’s a lovely little dog and is excited to find her forever home, committed to adventures, laughter and happiness! She’ll never let you feel unloved as long as you have a lap to share
