Nellie is a young dog who has made incredible progress in learning that new people can be wonderful. Once a little unsure, she’s come a long way and is now excited to meet most folks-especially when introductions are calm and respectful. Her growth is a testament to her resilience and her desire to connect.
Nellie would thrive in a home with people who understand that sensitivity isn’t a flaw-it’s part of what makes her special. She’s looking for patient, kind humans who can read her cues, give her space when needed, and celebrate her wins along the way. With the right match, Nellie will be a loyal, loving companion who continues to blossom every day.
