This helps Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue with pet care costs.
Meet Nelly, a gentle young female puppy currently in foster care, looking for a calm, patient, and understanding forever home where she can slowly build her confidence. Nelly is a mellow girl with a low energy level and a shy, fearful disposition. She is easily frightened by new things and tends to keep her distance at first, preferring to observe quietly rather than interact right away. She has struggled to warm up to new people and may need significant time and gentle encouragement to feel secure. Her experiences with children, dogs, cats, and other pets are still unknown, so any introductions should be done very slowly and carefully. This sweet pup has shown no issues with food removal, accepting it calmly once she feels safe enough to eat. However, she has had frequent potty accidents since arriving in foster care, likely due to her high level of fear and reluctance to leave her hiding spots or crate. She is very dependent on her sister for comfort, often crying when separated, and can become startled even during gentle petting. Nelly spends much of her time hiding in her crate or other safe places, watching the world from afar. While her full personality is still emerging as she adjusts, those who have seen glimpses of her know she is incredibly adorable and has the potential to become a devoted companion in the right environment. She will thrive best in a quiet, low-traffic adult home with a consistent routine, secure spaces to retreat to, and an adopter experienced with fearful dogs who is committed to using positive, force-free methods to help her blossom at her own pace. If you have the patience and heart to give Nelly the time she needs to trust and feel safe, she could reward you with quiet, loyal affection in return.
