Tidbits:

Nellie is a playful, affectionate pup who's ready to leave her past behind and leap into a life full of love, toys, and belly rubs. She was surrendered by a family who didn't have time for her. Thankfully, a foster stepped in and gave her the freedom, care, and attention she deserves.

Now? Nellie's thriving. She's smart, quick, and absolutely obsessed with toys, especially squeakers! She'll play fetch, tug-of-war, or entertain herself with a ball, then happily curl up in your lap or burrow under the blankets to keep your feet warm. She's great with other dogs (though she likes to be the boss), loves kids and adults alike, and is just as happy lounging on the patio as she is chasing toys.

Nellie is looking for a loving home that will shower her with the attention she thrives on. She'd do best with someone who embraces her playful energy and adores her snuggly, lap-loving side. While she's incredibly smart and eager to learn, she does get excited and may jump up to greet you, so a family that's patient and ready to guide her with kindness would be perfect.
