Story
Hello, world. I’m Nellie. I’ve decided it’s time I introduce myself because there is something very important you need to know about me: I. LOVE. PEOPLE. Seriously. People are kind of my thing. I love being held. I love laps. I love curling up right next to my person for a good movie—or a bad movie, I’m not picky. I love relaxing beside you, following you from room to room, and generally making sure you are never forced to experience the tragedy of being alone. Dogs? Dogs are cool. I prefer the calm ones who understand personal space and aren’t trying to turn every Tuesday afternoon into WrestleMania. But PEOPLE? People have hands. Hands give pets. And getting my fair share of those pets is SERIOUS BUSINESS. If another dog happens to be getting attention, you may suddenly feel a little tap tap tap on your shin. That’s me. I have located the itchy spot you didn’t know you had, and I am absolutely willing to scratch it for you. For free. Out of the goodness of my heart. This completely selfless act has nothing whatsoever to do with reminding you that there is an adorable Nellie standing right here who has somehow gone several seconds without being petted. I will follow you around. I will keep you company. I will happily occupy your lap. And I will vie for every single bit of attention currently available for distribution. Because while I may be willing to share my people... I will also be keeping very close tabs on the allocation of resources. So now that we’ve gotten the important stuff out of the way, there’s just one thing left: I’m ready to find my person. And I believe your lap is currently available.

Story
Most of humanity remains under investigation. The evidence is not encouraging. Wednesday would like it known that she did not volunteer to be available for adoption. Unfortunately, the humans insist that finding a forever home requires something called “marketing.” Wednesday believes trust should be earned, personal space should be respected, and strangers should be viewed with a healthy amount of skepticism. She is not interested in reckless optimism, unsolicited touching, or people who think every dog wants to be immediately scooped up and cuddled. She prefers to conduct a thorough investigation before deciding whether you are worthy of her attention. Some may call her cautious. Wednesday prefers “appropriately suspicious.” She does not give permission lightly. Touch her without consent and you may find yourself becoming the missing part of Thing. Fortunately, those who earn her approval discover a loyal companion hiding beneath all the judgment. Wednesday enjoys quiet company, cozy naps, and keeping a watchful eye on everything happening around her kingdom. She is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds with her people and takes her responsibilities as household supervisor very seriously. Wednesday is currently accepting applications for permanent staff. Successful candidates must provide comfortable sleeping arrangements, appropriate snack distribution, and an understanding that trust is earned, not demanded.
