Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nelly is the cutest little mix of beautiful blue Staffordshire Terrier and maybe lab or weimaraner? She is approximately 2-2.5 years old, weighs only 35 lbs and a great dog in every way. Nelly was rescued out of high kill rural Georgia and has not had an easy life. Very few rescue dogs have a chance there, so we transported Nelley to Washington for a chance at a great life. True to her breeds , she is not very independent, very friendly with others, and loves to play! She will be your constant companion and be the true “Velcro dog”. It might take her a few mins (and maybe some treats) to warm up to the men in your house as we suspect some guys were mean to her in her former life. But she will “lean” on them just like her female owner soon enough! Nelly is looking for a patient owner that will enjoy walks and spending time with her. Her best friend is her foster brother and Metro dog day care partner, Ricky a Pug mix! They play super well together and are the life of the party at metro dog. She will appreciate her "me time" and loves car rides and being out and about. Nellie is highly intelligent and is house trained and crate trained. She loves going to her doggie day care and has no problem being a couch potato or your sleeping partner. Nelly has been in foster care in Georgia with pre-teen children and they mutually adored each other. Nelly is spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped. She knows many of her basic skills, is very good on the leash, and is very ready to get on with her real family life. Nelly’s adoption fee $200. Beautiful, sweet Nelly is a lap dog and a lover and will enjoy hanging out with you whatever you are doing! To meet this gorgeous sweet girl contact Pam at raincityrescue@gmail.com or fill out an application at www.raincityrescue.com. Nelly has kisses waiting and really needs you!
