Nellie, 2 yrs (F)
Welcome little Nellie! This little Yorkiepoo type girl and a big sweet mature Mastiff girl appeared in a remote area, apparently dumped, and they roamed together for weeks before being brought to safety at a shelter. It's a wonderful story of friendship and survival and these two get along great. We're guessing little Nellie wouldn't have survived on her own with coyotes and other risks if Nonnie hadn't been there to protect her.... Welcome little Nellie! This little Yorkiepoo type girl and a big sweet mature Mastiff girl appeared in a remote area, apparently dumped, and they roamed together for weeks before being brought to safety at a shelter. It's a wonderful story of friendship and survival and these two get along great. We're guessing little Nellie wouldn't have survived on her own with coyotes and other risks if Nonnie hadn't been there to protect her. Nellie is full of little dog shenanigans and even so, Nonnie was endlessly patient! Little Nellie was infested with fleas and ticks when rescued and she was so matted that she had to be sedated and shaved down. She had foxtails piercing her body in multiple places including her vulva and armpits, but all that is behind her now and things are looking up. She's 11 pounds and probably a couple years old. Sometimes dogs who appear bonded absolutely thrive in individual loving homes, and other times they are truly happiest kept together. We will continue to assess what's best for their needs. We're grateful to our shelter friends for keeping them safe, and to our friends at Big Dog Rescue, who pulled them from the shelter and lovingly cared for them until they could make their way to Dogwood. The girls have been spayed and fully vetted.
