About

Meet Nellie: The World’s Most Professional Snuggler
If you’ve been looking for a shadow that has four legs, a wagging tail, and a serious commitment to never letting you feel lonely again, look no further. Meet Nellie, a 2-year-old Italian Greyhound mix who has officially achieved “Stage 5 Clinger” status—and she wears the title with pride!
The Lowdown on Nellie
Nellie is a petite sweetheart who believes that “personal space” is just a suggestion. She doesn’t just want to be in the same room as you; she wants to be in your lap, under your chin, or tucked into the crook of your arm.
• Age: 2 Years
• Breed: Italian Greyhound Mix
• Social Status: Dog-friendly and absolute loves kids!
• Special Skills: Professional-grade burrowing and Olympic-level lap warming.
Why You’ll Love Her
• The Ultimate Bed-Warmer: Hope you like sharing! Nellie has a PhD in “Stealing Your Spot.” The moment you get up for a glass of water, she’ll be curled up right where you were sitting.
• Kid-Approved: She is gentle and affectionate, making her a wonderful companion for a family with children who will give her the endless attention she craves.
• Social Butterfly: Nellie gets along great with other dogs, though she’ll likely still try to convince you that she is your favorite.
• Warmth Seeker: If there is a sunbeam, a fuzzy blanket, or a warm lap available, that is exactly where you will find her.
Nellie’s Perfect Match
Nellie is looking for a home where her “clingy” nature is seen as a feature, not a bug. She needs a family that welcomes her into the big bed, doesn’t mind a constant companion while folding laundry, and has plenty of blankets to go around.
Ready to gain a permanent shadow? Nellie is waiting to find the lap she can call home forever!
