Nellie is a sweet, smart and cuddly nine year-old, six pound Min Pin-Chihuahua mix.  Nellie gets around really well on three legs after having her non-functioning atrophied hind leg removed. She will do best in a home with no other pets. She is an easy-going dog, happy to cuddle with you or burrow in her blanket and peek out at you and delightedly smile.  Nellie loves to lay in the sun and will contentedly ride in the car. She will bark to let you know she wants to go outside or is ready for her next meal.  This little cutie does best with very brief walks and is also delighted to chill on the sofa with you. Sweet Nellie enjoys being carried or riding with you in her little carrier sling.   

Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heart-worm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and micro-chipped.
