Nelly wants to be your new best friend!
This beautiful girl is going to be the perfect addition to someone's home! She is happy to meet and play with other dogs, cats, kids of all ages and all adults - she is just one friendly, outgoing girl! Nelly appears to be a Spaniel mix about 1 years old with a beautiful smooth tri color fur coat.
Nelly is house trained, crate trained, and walks pretty good on on the leash, but could use some more practice. Looking for a walking or running partner? If so, Nelly is the dog for you! She rides well in the car, is playful, and likes toys. A fenced yard would be ideal so Nelly could run and play safely, but if that's not available she'll need lots of leash walks and opportunities for off-leash play in a fenced area. An obedience course would be great for Nelly; it will help teach her good manners and commands, further socialization with other dogs and people, and will help build that very important bond between a dog and his human.
Nelly is a gentle happy girl who just wants a loving forever home. Can you make her dream come true? Fill out an application today and let her know that you'd love to have her join your family!
Medical Note: This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease. Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future. Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete. Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home. This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications. Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog. Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.
An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
