NELLY

Meet NELLY! If you're in search of a laid-back companion, a movie buddy, and a loving family member all in one, Nelly is your gal! This amazing dog is open-armed to be a part of any family. Despite her guardian breed, she's not your typical guard dog – instead, she welcomes everyone with a joyful wiggle and a kiss. Nelly is a heart-stealer, especially with kids of all ages. At around 9 years old, she may have some mild arthritis, but thanks to pain management, you wouldn't even notice – she's living her best pain-free life! Nelly, a mama who came to us from the Central Valley, delivered 11 puppies on her first day with us. She's a large breed, weighing about 120 lbs, and with that size comes big rewards. Her personality is truly one of a kind – she'll entertain you for hours. A gentle giant, Nelly is looking for someone who'll shower her with the affection she deserves. Due to her size, she'd do best as the only dog in the home. She gets along well with dogs of similar energy levels or those who don't pay much attention to her. Small animals might trigger her prey drive, so caution is needed around them. If you're ready to open your heart and home to Nelly, head over to www.aarflove.org and complete an application. She's eagerly waiting to find her furever home, and it could be with you!
