My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Why Choose me?
At only 38 pounds, Nellie is a precious little girl that was found wandering around on the side of the road. She has the prettiest brown brindle coat and adorable pointy ears that stick straight up towards the sky. Spending time with Nellie was an absolute joy. As it was her very first day at the pound, Nellie wanted to sniff and explore everything at first. However, after a few minutes all she wanted to do was give me kisses and place her paws on my knees for a good back rub. The cutest thing about Nellie is when she simultaneously looks up at you with those sweet eyes, pins her ears back against the side of her head, and animatedly wags her tail. She loves attention and affection, especially when you put your face close to hers so she can kiss you. Nellie would make a great companion for just about anyone– she is cute, very responsive to affection, and she is just the perfect size to sit in your lap! Come take one look at Nellie today and be prepared to fall in love!
