Female Dog, Brittany
Brittany / Border Collie / Mixed
Description:
Nelli (or Nelli Belly) is a sweet, spayed ,10-year-old female who enjoys daily walks, playing fetch, and car rides. Nelli’s mom was a Brittany but she takes after her Border Collie dad in size (48 pounds) and looks. Nelli’s new family should be active and prepared to commit to throwing a ball for her and including her in their activities. She is quite agile and energetic and will need a home with a yard secured by a 6-foot fence. She is house trained, knows several commands, and is good with guests. Nelli is currently living with a foster family that includes two adults and an older male Brittany. Nelli is well-behaved and has been left loose in the house with no problems. She keeps tabs on her people and likes to lay by her foster mom’s chair when she works from home. Ideally her family would be home more often than not, perhaps retired or working remotely. Other dogs may be ok as long as they aren’t too alpha. Nelli would love to have a dog to play with who understands and accepts her vocalizing while playing. Nelli’s experience with cats is unknown. Her behavior around children is also not known, although her foster family suggests she would be best in a home with active adults that could include older children. Nelli is spayed, current on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Nelli’s adoption fee is $175.00 which helps to offset our vetting and allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members. If you are interested in making Nelli a member of your family, please visit www.nbran.org and complete the on-line adoption application form under the Adopt tab. Once the application has been reviewed, you will be contacted by your state coordinator. A phone interview, home visit, and vet check will be required as part of the approval process. Please realize that all our dogs are placed in the most appropriate home for their individual needs. We do not operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Nelli is eligible to be transported through our canine railroad up to 1400 miles from Boise with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.
