Hi, I’m Nelly! 🐾💖

I’m a sweet, playful pup with the perfect balance of zoomies and snuggles! I was born around May 9th of this year, and while my background is a bit of a mystery, what’s crystal clear is how much love I have to give. I am a lab/shep mix, maybe? These days I’m thriving in my foster home—playing, eating, napping, and learning all the important family dog skills! I absolutely adore my hooman foster sister.

Here’s why I’m such a catch:

Playtime Pro: I LOVE to play—whether it’s with toys, other pups, or my favorite humans.

Affectionate Angel: I’m very affectionate and somewhat cuddly. When I’m done playing, I’ll happily curl up by your side.

Dog & Cat Friendly: With a proper hello, I get along with dogs, and I’m friendly with cats too!

Smart Cookie in Training: I’m crate trained, almost potty trained, and working on leash manners. I’m also very food & treat motivated, so I can be a quick learner!

A little more about me:

Sometimes I might get a little anxious in my crate, but I’ve learned to settle and snooze! I’m loyal, sweet, and smart, with a heart full of love for my people.

My favorite activities are playtime, snack time, and nap time… basically the doggy dream routine. 🐶💤

What’s my dream home?

I’d love a home with a yard, maybe some kids to play with, and even another dog buddy. I’d be happiest with a family who’s ready for both fun and cuddles—because I’ve got plenty of both to share!

My adoption fee is $550. This fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay, and microchip. Ready to meet me? You can fill out an application to adopt me at www.thecantufoundation.org.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate pup who’s the perfect mix of silly and sweet—I think we’d be the paw-fect match!
