Nellie has blossomed into the sweetest dog in this past week, once a shy, unsure pup, she now feels more safe and secure and is definitely wanting to be with her “human” much more. She follows her foster Mom around and has become her “shadow”. She loves the backyard, grass and the shaded patio area and has a youthful and playful personality.
Nellie has started playing with her toys and enjoys the company of her foster siblings as well as couch “snuggles” with foster Mom. She listens very well and is eager to please as well as being food motivated for training. She’s getting the hang of house breaking manners, and has started learning to “ring the bell” to go out with the other dogs for potty time! Nellie hasn’t quite mastered leash walking, she’s trying but has a ways to go, so she will require a fenced in yard in her new home. We still feel it’s best if Nellie goes to an adult only home where she can soak up all the love with her new family
Hello rescue world, my name is Nellie, I am thought to be a 5 year old Lhasa apaso mix, and all of 10lbs. I was found neglected and in horribly matted shape. The “people” that had me obviously didn’t take care of me and I ended up at animal control, and in a way, I guess that was a good thing because I got lucky and my photo was shared with VIP Rescue Director Betsy and before I knew it, Vip Rescue jumped into action and took me into their Rescue along with 3 other pups I came in with that were in as horrible condition as me. WHO DOES THAT TO AN ANIMAL? We certainly didn’t do anything to deserve to be “forgotten”. VIP showed us love, gave us food, they welcomed us…No questions asked. We were shaved down as our hair was so matted, there was no saving it and we had a bath.. wow what a difference a day makes. We were immediately taken on a trip to the “Dog”tor, and a plan and schedule was made… we found ourselves on the road to recovery and the start of our next chapter in our new life. After all that “Vet” stuff that I had done, I needed time to decompress and understand what LOVE really means. I now have a full belly, I’m learning leash walks, I enjoy rolling around in the grass in the backyard and my favorite is a warm bed. I love sleeping in the human bed. I get cuddles and pets and kisses. My second favorite thing is a warm lap to nap on so I can just relax. What do you think? Does it sound like you can offer me the same? I’m looking for a loving quieter Adult home that I can be the center of your attention. Patience is a little of what I’m looking for my in my “FUR”ever home.
I can promise this… if you love me?? I will love you even more! I’m a little awkward and learning how to play because I was so matted, my leg movement were restricted, but now I’m getting the hang of it! I get really excited when I get attention and sometimes I might look a little uncoordinated. In the last few days, I’ve learned how to play, and I’m a totally different girl than a few weeks ago when VIP Rescue took me in. THIS. Is what a good hearted human does, not like that “other” one.
If you can give me the time and patience, I’m going to be the best girl ever. I’m working on house manners, as I was never given the opportunity to understand this, but I’m a quick learner and in no time I’ll have it down pat. I could be your one and only or if you have a HaPpY friendly pup already at home I would love to meet them. I’ve been spayed, ( thank goodness, no more puppers for me!) had a fresh dental, updated vaccines, and am on my monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Please keep in mind I will need to be groomed on a regular basis so I don’t get tangled and matter ever again. If you don’t think you can work this into your budget ($60–$80 every 6-8 weeks or so) please visit our web site and choose a pup that doesn’t need grooming. Well now, if you think you just might be what I’m looking for, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an application. Don’t forget to put my name, Nellie on the app. Hope to meet you very soon!
