Nellie's Story

Nellie is a really nice, sweet, beautiful, young girl. She's young, healthy, house trained, she loves everyone and she's very dog friendly. She's mostly all white, with a few black/dark brown spots, Nellie loves to play. She's very active. She would really like a fenced yard but it's not a deal-breaker. She loves to play fetch!<br/><br/>Her energy probably makes her not a good match for cats or small children. But that same energy would make her a good running companion.<br/><br/>Gender: Spayed Female<br/><br/>Approx. DOB: 2/1/2020<br/><br/>Weight: 50 pounds<br/><br/>Nellie has an anonymous guardian angel who hopes she finds her perfect home soon.<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.<br/><br/>Please see our adoption guidelines at https://spcanova.org/about-us/adoption-policies/.<br/>12/6/25 8:13 AM
