Meet Nellie
Hi, my name is Nellie! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:
-Personality: Loyal, Intelligent, Brave
-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history, Kids 8 yrs and up recommended, a proper introduction must happen to ensure we all get along
-Can Live with Cats: Yes, pending a slow introduction
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, pending a proper introduction at the shelter
-Can do Apartment Living: Yes, if adopter is dedicated to daily training and mental enrichment
-Potty Trained: Yes
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: We recommend training class, but not required if adopter is dedicated to training without assistance from a trainer.
-Energy Level: Medium/High
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay will be provided by WHS
-Additional Information:
Nellie is one lucky dog, she was rescued by one of our animal control officers from an abandoned home where she carefully watched over her 7 small puppies. Nellie and her pups went into a loving foster home which has prepared her for her next step in life--finding her permanent, responsible home. Nellie is a very intelligent, athletic dog with a drive to learn new skills, and would thrive with an active adopter who is willing to provide her with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. She is also incredibly loving and loyal, this dog will be your friend for life if you open your home to her.
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
