My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

There is something truly special about the love of a senior dog, and Nelly is the perfect example. At this stage in her life, Nelly has mastered the art of being a companion. She is a mellow, sweet lady who is looking for a quiet corner in your home and a big piece of your heart.

Nelly is the definition of a `low-maintenance` best friend. She is incredibly well-behaved and—in a rare feat for most pups—is an absolute superstar at the vet! She sits patiently, takes everything in stride, and is a favorite among the clinic staff.

If you’re looking for the fastest way to Nelly’s heart, it’s simple: ear scratches. If you start scratching behind her ears, she’ll lean in with a contented sigh, letting you know you’ve found her favorite spot in the world.
