NELLY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Nelly ! Nelly is a 15 lb, 4-month-old Beagle/Dachshund mix with a heart of gold and a playful spirit. She’s still working on her potty training, but with a little more time, treats, and patience, she’ll have it mastered in no time. This curious girl loves to watch bugs, birds, and squirrels—she’s more intrigued than chase-happy, which just adds to her charm. When she’s not on “nature watch,” Nelly is busy emptying the toy bin and having the best time entertaining herself. At home, she’s been great with cats, other dogs, and kids. She’s naturally on the submissive side, making her easy to get along with. At night, Nelly sleeps soundly in her crate, and with a frozen peanut butter treat, she’s happy to hang out in her pen when left alone. We expect Nelly to stay on the smaller side (maybe 30–40 lbs full grown)—she’s got those dainty little paws to prove it. Most of all, she has a sweet, cuddly personality and can’t wait to be someone’s best friend. If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who’s equal parts silly and snuggly, Nelly is your girl! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
