Nellie: Perfection in a big dog!
How would you describe the perfect dog? An affectionate dog? A dog that will play fetch in a tutu, after supervising toy cars being driven through the yard, and up on her back? A dog who doesn’t even demand you buy her toys as she is thrilled to fetch a stick, and even more thrilled...
Nellie likes boys
On a recent Wednesday at the Rescue, Nellie (Chenelle) got a chance to play with a group of male dogs – and she loves to play! Nellie seems to get along very well with the boys, and with the non-dominant females. She is playful and sweet with the volunteers, too. Nellie is a sweet dog...
Where is Nellie’s home?
We don’t often get GSP-Mixes at the rescue. We find that many people overlook them because they are a mix and have come to us for a purebred GSP. Nellie is a rare case where we are caring for and trying to place a GSP-Mix. We are not entirely sure of the GSP-Mix in Nellie but guess it...
Sweet Nellie
We volunteers, much like parents, try not to have favorites. After all, every one of these “children” in our care are special! I think we’d have to admit that a few dogs always stand out with us, though. Nellie (Chenelle) is one of those dogs. She’s been with us longer because she is a mix,...
People are talking about Nellie
Many of our volunteers have worked with Nellie. These are just some of the things they have to say about her: “such a playful girl”, “friendly”, ”She knows sit and takes treats beautifully”, ‘fun and people loving dog”. Her former owners say she is “absolutely fantastic” around small children and “very patient”. Need we say...
Nellie is a fun-loving girl
Nellie is a fun-loving girl. She went for a run and played with her leash during the run. She would grab it in her mouth for a moment and throw it out. Nellie was so happy to be out for a run. Afterward, in the training field, she took treats like a pro. She gently...
Look at me, not that silly liver dog…
Yes, look at me, Nellie, not that silly liver dog named after a department store. I’m the dog you really want. Yes, my hair is slightly longer than a purebred GSPs but I’m no Lab, that’s for sure! My fur is soft to pet and oh how I like pets. So, if you want a...
Nellie “Squirrel!”
Chenelle, or Nellie as she likes to be called, is an adult GSP mix, but playing like a puppy is certainly not out of the question. Give her a squeaky squirrel, and it’s “game on!” Of course, if you want to hang out and snuggle after the squirrel has been tackled a few times, Nellie...
Nellie is a great family dog
Not only is Nellie (Chenelle) a soft and pretty GSP Mix, she has been a great companion to small children as well. Her former family took her in as a favor to a friend, but Nellie and their dominant female GSP just couldn’t work things out. In the year they had Nellie, however, they found...
