Nelly

Nelly is the kind of dog people dream about finding. She has the classic Heeler intelligence and drive paired with an unexpectedly laid-back, in-home personality that makes her a joy to live with. Around the house, she’s a calm, happy couch potato who loves to snuggle and be close to her people. Outside, she turns on the speed, agility, and laser-sharp focus Heelers are known for.<br/><br/>She is fully house trained and has had zero accidents since day one in her foster home. Nelly loves car rides and hops into a vehicle like she was born in the back seat. Out in the country, she doesn’t even require a leash—she comes when called instantly and reliably, even with distractions present.<br/><br/>Nelly has strong herding instincts and can be “cowy,” but she is highly responsive and immediately stands down when called. She will stop mid-chase and return right away, showing excellent impulse control and a deep desire to please her people. She’s incredibly smart, attentive, and tuned in to her handler.<br/><br/>She gets along wonderfully with her canine foster brothers and has a sweet, affectionate nature that makes her a world-class cuddle bug. Nelly bonds deeply with her people and will absolutely make you smile every day.<br/><br/>Nelly is approximately 1.5 years old, weighs 33 pounds, and has a docked tail. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her forever home.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime Heeler with brains, beauty, loyalty, and heart—Nelly is truly something special.<br/><br/>Thanks for considering a dog from Texas Cattle Dog Rescue!
