Nellie's Story

Breed: Chow<br/>DOB: 7/9/2022<br/>Gender: female<br/>Altered: yes<br/>Coat: long<br/>Size: medium<br/>Color(s): black<br/>Description:<br/>Hi, I'm Nellie!<br/><br/>I'm an affectionate and loyal Chow looking for my forever home where I can truly thrive. I've come a long way—from being a fearful, under-socialized puppy to becoming a loving, curious girl who's eager to learn and please. Thanks to the patience and guidance of my foster mom, I've gained confidence and started to come out of my shell. While I'm still a little reserved around new people, I warm up with time and consistency—and once I do, I'll be your playful shadow, chasing lizards, tossing toys, and cuddling right by your side.<br/><br/>I would do best in a home as the only dog. I don't do well with females, and I'm selective with males—I tend to get along best with calm, confident (alpha) males, and even then, I'd need a proper meet and greet to make sure we're a good fit. I've worked hard to find my balance, and I'd love a home where I can continue to grow with a strong, steady human who can provide structure, guidance, and lots of love.<br/><br/>I'm crate-trained, potty-trained, and making great progress on leash walks with a gentle leader. I just need someone who's willing to continue working with me and help me keep building on the great progress I've made.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a sweet, smart companion who's ready to bond deeply and be your loyal best friend, I just might be your girl. Please fill out an application as I can't wait to meet you!
