Hi there! My name is Nellie, and I’m a 8-month-old herding dog mix with a sharp mind and a strong instinct to work.

I absolutely love to herd — it’s what I’m wired for! I’m happiest when I have space to move, things to focus on, and a job to do. Because of that, I’d thrive in a home with a large property, ranch, or farm, or with an active family that understands and appreciates herding dogs and their need for both physical and mental stimulation.

I’m still young and learning, but I’m eager, intelligent, and motivated. With the right guidance, structure, and outlet for my instincts, I’m going to grow into an incredible companion and working partner. I do best when I can stretch my legs, explore, and use my brain — a suburban couch-only lifestyle wouldn’t be the right fit for me.

Friends of Wind River Humane Society's Adoption Policy
At Friends of Wind River Humane Society, our adoption process is designed to set both dogs and adopters up for long-term success. We take the time to ensure each placement is a thoughtful match, prioritizing the well-being, safety, and happiness of every animal and family. Our adoption process includes the following steps: 1. Submission of online application by prospective adopter - this includes collecting key information such as household details, existing pets, vet references, landlord approval (if renting), and experience with animals. 2. Detailed application review by a member of our team - one of our dedicated volunteers/team members carefully reviews each application, looking for the best match for the animal’s needs. 3. Phone/virtual screening by a member of our team - one of our dedicated volunteers/team members, often from one of our foster caregivers, walk through the application questions in more detail, giving our team a solid understanding of the prospective adopter's lifestyle, expectations, experience with animals, etc. 4. "Meet and greet" with dog(s) of interest/compatibility - prospective adopters are invited to meet the animal, ideally in person if location permits or via video; if adopters have other pets and location permits, a controlled meet-and-greet might be arranged at this stage. 5. Final approval and adoption - if our team and the prospective adopter feel positive and wish to proceed following the "meet and greet, " an adoption agreement is signed and transport is arranged for the dog to their new home; depending on distance, this could include transport support provided by our organization; adopters are provided documentation of all medical history, microchip information, etc.
