PLEASE READ COMPLETE BIO TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL INFORMATION & NEXT STEPS.

NELLIE is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heart-worm and tick-disease tested Negative and micro-chipped. She weigh around 30 pounds and will not grow any more, so is a nice medium sized dog. She has an estimated date of birth of 15 November 2014.

NELLIE is great around all people of all ages, she came from a loving family and is a complete cuddle bug. She is great with children of all sizes, although when excited she does jump up, but she is very loving and affectionate with small children and loves to play games with them. She is great with dogs of all sizes and is happy to play and wrestle with the big size dogs, German Shepherds and small terriers under 10 pounds. 

She is not food aggressive and eats happily and comfortably with the other dogs. We do not have cats in the rescue so we are unable to say how she is with cats.

NELLIE does walk on a leash, although she at times does pull and some practice and training is advisable. She absolutely loves to ride in the car/truck.

NELLIE is still young and her ideal family will be active, who are willing and capable of taking her on adventures and road trips so that she can explore all the sights, sounds and smells the world has to offer. She will need at least basic and advanced training, and would make a perfect addition to a family with young children/grandchildren.

NELLIE is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $450. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

NELLIE is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. There is a local hotel in Dover-Foxcroft that is pet-friendly (approx 6 miles) and several in Bangor (approx 45 miles). There are also lots of wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend.
