Are you looking for a dog that loves quiet corners and soft voices? Do you like a dog that loves to cuddle and just be near you? Meet Nellie, a year and a half old boxer mix weighing 44 pounds. She has a short tan and white coat. A pink nose and soft amber eyes add to her gentle look. A bit shy at first but then she will show you her sweet and gentle side. She will do best in a home where she can stay by your side as a loyal friend. Nellie has interacted with other dogs (large and small) and has been fostered with cats! She also does well with children. She is house and crate trained. She is currently working on her leash training. Although she housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment. Daily walks will support leash skills as well as socialization skills. (It will also be an opportunity to find out what commands she knows). It will be a new world to her with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along her walk. A secure back yard will give her free time to play. At home she will benefit from companionship and mental stimulation in the form of activities and play toys. That will keep her from being bored. Nellie has the potential to be a wonderful family companion. Are you willing to take on the task of helping her transition to a new life where she is loved and appreciated? If yes, read on.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Nellie is $500.
