Hi everyone, Nellie here. This is my second visit to Homeward Bound…through no fault of my own! Here’s what I have learned in my short three year life: When life hands you lemons, you learn to make lemonade! First, I was dumped on Homeward Bound’s doorstep as a very young girl trying unsuccessfully to miscarry a litter of puppies. The people here whisked me to the vet and saved my life. Happy and grateful, I went home with a gentle human and we lived pretty much a hermit life. Then, he unexpectedly went to the bridge and I was left alone. Homeward Bound scooped me up again, and here I am – looking for you! I figure there’s no point in dwelling on the past; I just keep looking forward and believe that good things will come my way. I am house trained and know some basics, but my person didn’t spend a lot of time on formal training for me. I haven’t had a lot of experience with other dogs, but I find I like gentle, easy ones. I am kind of indifferent to cats and think sturdy kids would be great. My zest for life sometimes gets the best of me and I can sometimes jump for joy! If I have earned a wish, it’s for a family that is around a lot like my previous human was, and is committed to completing my education with love, patience, and joy to match my own! I’m Nellie. The happy girl no matter what! Come find me!
