Story
Name: NellieBreed: Rat Terrier MixDOB: 1/2/23Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Hampshire, ILAdoption fee: $325Fun Bio: Poor Willie and Nellie were found after being dumped and abandoned in someone's yard.....on Christmas Day! What the heck?! We aren't sure if they are related (maybe father daughter? Grandfather?) but Willie is very attached to Nellie. Both Willie and Nellie are great dogs who, despite being abandoned, love life and being around people. They will entertain you for hours! Nellie is just about a year old ready to find a home that will love her Willie forever where they'll never be abandoned again. Can it be with you? If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. ##1914509##
