Hi, I'm Nellie Rose! I'm looking for the love of my life... Could it be you?
First, let's get my backstory out of the way...
I spent the last couple of years of my life without any grooming, and I was completely matted, with incredibly long nails when I was discovered. My nails were so long that they had curled and were growing into my pads and it really hurt! With the mats pulling at my skin, I wasn't able to do as much moving around as I like.
Now that I'm free of the mats and my nails are trimmed, I've got a new lease on life!
I enjoy exploring outside, and going for short walks. (Foster Mom says I need to be a healthier weight, but my legs are short and I'm quite bodacious, so no really long walks for me, please.) I love to sniff the grass, look at everything around me, and frolic around. Sometimes I get a burst of energy, and I will speed up, causing my ears to flap up and down. I'm told this is really adorable! I like a little game of chase, if you're up for a quick little game
After a nice little romp in the yard, I love coming inside to get a sip of water, and then finding a bed to curl up in. I'm not able to get up on the sofa by myself, but would love to snuggle up with you on the sofa if you're willing to pick me up. I would probably adjust to a ramp if you wanted me to be a little more independent in this aspect.
I enjoy the company of other dogs, big and small, but I'm also comfortable being an only child.
While my age may make some people wary, I've got so much love to give and so much joy to bring! If you think you're up for a wonderful older senior who still has spunk, please fill out an application and let's find out if we are a match!
. I am 16 years old. My mommy died. I lived with her my whole life and my person is gone. Although I’m confused about where my person has gone, I have adapted to my foster mom, dad and dogs nicely. I’m still very spunky and love going on walks. I love trying out new dog beds and I’m very chill. I am truly hoping someone will adopt me so I can live the rest of my life being loved like I was with my mommy. To apply for me please visit STFFAR.org
