About Nellie
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Housetrained: Yes

CONGRATULATIONS to Katie in Lawrence, KS!  Nellie started out as her foster dog but wormed her way right into Katie's heart.  Nellie had a rough start and was with us for over a year, but now this gorgeous girl has a fabulous forever home where she is much loved and cared for.  YAY!!

Temperament:  sweet, good with SMALL dogs and cats (NO large dogs for this girl!)

Update 8/12/09: "Nellie is an intelligent and very energetic dog. Once she knows who is in charge, she will respect and love you to her fullest. Her house manners are amazing and she's very smart. She is taking some time to learn to respect the cats here, but she always listens when corrected. Nellie is such a beautiful dog and needs space to run freely or alongside her best friend. She is still uncomfortable around large dogs, but if introduced properly and over a period of a few weeks she should be fine with another smaller, less assertive dog. She has so much love to give and just needs to find the right person."

Update 5.7.09: Nellie has been in boarding for a while but has to go now, as they don't have space for her anymore. She is absolutely wonderful EXCEPT she does not get along with large dogs at all. She is fine with small dogs and cats and loves people! She needs help fast, even if you can only foster her for a short time we would greatly appreciate it.

UPDATE 2.15.09 Nellie and her foster sister got into a fight yesterday (they've had a personality dispute that is being worked on). Unfortunately, the foster mom's hand got caught in one of the collars and was broken. SO NELLIE NEEDS TO FIND A NEW FOSTER HOME ASAP WHILE FOSTER MOM HEALS AND TAKES IT EASY FOR A CHANGE!!!

Update 1.13.09: Nellie continues to be a sweet girl with her foster family. They report she loves cats and likes playing with them. Nellie has also begun another training class to continue working on some problems she has had with a dog she is being fostered with. She is absolutely fabulous with adults and kids. She LOVES people and is a nice smaller sized GSD. Please email us if you would like to be Nellie's FOREVER home!

Update 11.08.08: Nellie went to a wonderful foster home today after a few weeks in boarding/training at Pete and Mac's. Thank You! We've also come to find that Nellie is WONDERFUL with children, and would be a good family dog.

NELLIE was pulled from a very high kill Missouri pound where her time was up and she was next to be killed.

NELLIE is a gorgeous young ball of energy. She is a pretty bi-color girl with a shorter coat - close to the body, and is on the smaller side. She would love a yard to run and play in, and a family who will continue teaching her house manners. She needs an experienced owner who will give her consistent training, love and the discipline she needs.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

  1. We're picky about our adopters. 
  2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
  3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
  4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
  5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
  6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
  7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
  8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
