Congratulations to Nellie, our July 2021 Dog of the Month!!
Nellie’s beginning is a mystery. All we know is she found herself in an unfortunate predicament in Laredo, Texas in October 2019. If it weren’t for the amazing volunteers with Big Dog Rescue Project who pulled her from the high kill shelter, she would never have been matched with her mom and dad in Portland. Nellie’s journey from Texas to Portland includes a flight with Pilots N Paws and another with Alaska Airlines.
Nellie is thought to be 3 ½-ish and is what we call lab-ish. She looks like a lab, but that is where the lab traits end. She doesn’t really fetch and she doesn’t welcome strangers with open arms. What she does is make her mom and dad smile! She is a goofy, cute, sensitive, smart, protective, fast, fun dog. She loves the dog park (and anywhere she goes in the truck). She loves the beach (and anywhere she can run at top speed). She loves the neighborhood kids (or anything that will chase her). And most importantly, she loves No Bonz About It (and we love the hangover she gets from going).
Nellie is very proud to be selected July Dog of the Month, especially since both her mom and dad’s birthdays are in July!
