Nellie came to me in a heartbreaking condition. She was adopted from the pound when she was a puppy and was brought back at 4 years old in a terrible condition. She was severely underweight, missing teeth, and recovering from a broken hip. Despite all she's been through, she is a loving and affectionate spirit. She is potty trained and crate trained during the day. She free roams at night and has never torn anything up; however, she would prefer to sleep in the bed with you... We're still working on her jumping (she gets super excited) but she's improving every day. She responds extremely well to training and is a quick learner. She's currently in a home with another female pitbull and they are not the best of friends. She may be best as the only dog or possibly with a calm, male dog. We're still learning about her behavior with other dogs outside of the home, so a meet and greet would be ideal with other dogs. The ideal home would be someone who wants a cuddle buddy for life, a secure yard, and someone who is able to give her the attention she deserves. She has overcome more than most dogs ever will and through it all she has remained a total sweetheart. She's come such a long way and is more than ready to find her forever family.
When I first fostered Nellie, she was very shy and quiet. Now that she has started to feel better, her energy has really started to shine. She's turned into a completely different dog. She's playful, goofy, and extremely loving. She's the kind of dog who will full on flop into your lap to get her daily cuddles. If you're sitting, she's snuggling. She can sometimes be a velcro dog and is curious what you're doing at all times. When she's outside, she wants you there with her to watch her run and play fetch with her tennis balls.
