We rescued Nellie from the Humane Society where she was brought in at the age of 6 weeks, after her mom had given birth outside under someone's porch. The owner tried to care for the family of dogs but it become too much. We didn't find Nellie until she was almost 12 weeks old! We had just lost our 14 yr old dog, Tucker 6 months before and had contemplated getting another pup. After visiting her we knew that we had to take her home, with her crooked tail and all! She has a mini tail that kinda makes an 'L' at the end, it's pretty cute! After signing the papers we had to wait til the next day to get her, so that night we set up her crate and toys and bowls. The kids were so excited (and the parents too)!! Now after a year and a half, we really don't know what we would do without her! She makes us laugh and keeps us on our toes everyday! I don't think we'll ever be without another dog. This picture is her first night at our house! |
