Nelly was not eating for several days, so she was seen by our shelter veterinarian and on observation for a few days. Nelly can be a picky eater and may tire of one kind of food after some time. While at the shelter, she has eaten well, so the veterinarian cleared her for adoption! Nelly was described as being a gentle and affectionate girl who generally minds well and does well in the car. She knows some basic commands, such as sit and come. She was said to be kennel trained and housebroken. She was said to do well with other dogs and most humans. She does not have experience with children or cats. Please make sure any and all introductions are done in a slow and controlled and respectful manner. If you are inteerested in meeting Miss Nelly, please give us a call!04/20/23 These adorable, playful little puppies are ready for their new homes! Yentna came to the shelter with her siblings because their owner was unable to care for them. These puppies have been in a foster home for a couple of weeks so they could grow a bit more before being ready for adoption. They had a great start on socializing and have even been handled daily by the children in the foster's home! The foster family worked very hard on potty pad training the entire litter as well as beginning the basics of teaching `sit` for their treats and appear to be very food motivated making training a breeze. Here is a little bit of information that the foster home gathered about Yentna, or as the foster home had been calling her, `Maple`. `She is not shy and has been the most playful from the start! She is not afraid of other dogs, and just wants to play and have fun. We often find her wresting and having adorable little puppy barking/growling matches with one of her sisters or brothers.` Puppies are a lot of work, they will need consistency, training and patience with their new families. If you are ready to add a puppy to your family and would like to meet with Yentna or one of her siblings, please give the shelter a call to make an appointment to meet them!
