Nellie's Story

Meet Nellie — an 8-month-old dachshund mix with the goofiest grin, the softest velveteen fur, and a serious talent for professional-level cuddling. At just around ten pounds, this long-legged little noodle dog is convinced she was born to be somebody’s permanent lap accessory — and honestly, she’s probably right.<br/><br/>Nellie loves the simple things in life: sunbathing with her adorable pink belly in the air, sneaking bites of your snacks, and curling up beside you on the couch for hours of quality snuggle time. While she gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats, Nellie would secretly love being the center of one special person’s world. She bonds deeply with her people and is happiest when she’s close enough for full skin-to-skin contact.<br/><br/>This sweet girl can be a little shy when meeting new people, but underneath that cautious start is an easy-going pup with a heart of gold. Once she trusts you, her affectionate, silly personality shines through.<br/><br/>Nellie has done well with crate training and is making progress every day, but she’ll still need a forever family committed to helping her continue learning house training and leash skills. Patience, consistency, and lots of love will help this little lady blossom into the perfect companion.<br/><br/>If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal shadow, a tiny couch buddy, and a lap dog who thinks personal space is overrated — Nellie is absolutely your girl.<br/><br/>Apply online & come meet our girl! <br/><br/>https://forms.gle/97sdyZgWiVDcYPJk6 <br/><br/>Nellie’s adoption fee is $350 and helps to cover some of the costs of her vetting, spay, vaccines and microchip - all of which is already complete!
