Nellie has gained a ton of confidence in her foster home and cannot wait to show her forever family her sweet disposition. She loves to snuggle up next to you on the couch and keep her nose and toes toasty. She is zippy fast to play fetch and adores other dogs.
My name is Nellie and I am currently living in a foster home in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. I am approximately alost 2 years old and weigh about 30lbs. Nellie was surrendered by her Texas owner with her two siblings. This stunning and regal pup is cautious and timid when meeting new people. As she gains confidence with each new day her playful and polite personality is coming alive. She loves the dogs in her current foster home and is a quick learner to routine and expectations. She understands the tasty value of a treat and is eager learn basic commands. She loves toys, bones and games to keep her puppy brain active. She gallops and sprints to fetch tennis balls in the fenced backyard. Nellie will thrive in a home with other dog friends, a fenced yard, endless amounts of dog toys, a dog bed and a kennel to curl up in at night. She loves chin scratches and will give you soft kisses. She loves to talk when she wakes up in the morning and to let you know her excitement to be outside! She is an absolute delight who easily entertains herself and plays gently with her dog friends. Nellie is a dog's dog, and would love to have another dog in her forever home.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption process works a bit different than other shelters and rescues and we don't have a facility because we are foster based. Like most foster-based organizations, we set up all appointments on an individual basis. Prior to any meet and greets, we require an approved application so we will need to go through all the steps before having you meet any of the available dogs here in Wisconsin. We cannot guarantee the availability of any dog until all application materials are submitted and approved (including homevisit and reference calls). With the nature of our rescue, there is no shortage of available dogs just like this one, so we do highly recommend that folks continue through the process so that we can help find you a match!
Applicants must be 21 or older and we do not make exceptions to this age requirement. All applicants should be residing in their permanent residence at time of application. If you are moving, we do ask that you wait to apply until you have completely moved into your new residence before completing an application. If you are renting, the name and number of your landlord must be provided (we cannot process without), and permission must be given to contact him or her. If permission is not given, we will not continue to process the application. We do not adopt dogs that are listed on the restricted breed list to any applicants who are renting.
We start with the completed application and then complete a background check to ensure the safety of our home visit representatives and our rescue pets. We invite applicants to share more about potential issues on your background check, but do want to note that we will not send a representative to a home where crimes of a violent nature have been committed. Next, we check vet records. Please do not apply if you have a dog or cat that is not altered, or is not up to date on vaccinations, unless there is a documented medical reason. We require a minimum of a rabies vaccination for cats or current wellness exam, and rabies and DHLPP for dogs in the home. Heartworm preventative and testing is also a high priority on our vet checks.
Please note:
Prior to completing an application, please contact your veterinarian to give permission for a release of records. Vet information must be provided for any and all pets who have been in your care in the last five years.
The next step is a homevisit with family and one of our representatives. Home visits can take several weeks to schedule due to volunteer availability and based on your location. Please note: we are 100% volunteer run and we are limited in the areas we can get to. Some locations can take an extended time to locate a representative. Representatives may call your references before or after the visit. We do not accept applications from other states, only applications from Wisconsin.

More about this rescue
Our primary goal is to find adoptive homes for these amazing animals that are located in shelters, rescues and foster homes. How does it work? You fill out a Paddy's Paws Application which will be submitted for approval for adoption to the Houston rescues.
Our adoption process works a bit different than other shelters and rescues! Paddy's Paws serves as a coordinator for Houston rescues. We send out the applications, arrange homevisits and secure back up fosters for each of the dogs that will be transported here. Like most foster-based organizations, we do not have a facility and set up all appointments on an individual basis. Prior to any meet and greets, we require an approved application so we will need to go through all the steps before having you meet any of the available dogs here in Wisconsin.
The application, reference checks and homevisit are considered part of the general approval process and we cannot guarantee that a specific dog will still be available when you complete the process, but doing so will get you access to our "match making" service where you will have bios and pictures of multiple dogs that may be exactly what you're looking for! And, of course, there's always the possibility that the dog that sparked your initial interest will still be available!
