Nellie: Changing hearts and minds about Pit Bulls

Nellie has a special task while she is waiting for a home at the shelter. She is changing people's opinions about Pit Bulls. Many people's exposure is limited to horrific stories in the news. No matter what your opinion is coming into the shelter, you will be charmed by the sweet little brown and white dog who greets you by sitting at your feet and offering her paw.
Sweet Nellie is everything a Pit Bull should be. Nellie loves children and puppies. When the younger puppies cry she gets very concerned about them and wants to check on them. She was very concerned about the puppies when they came back from getting fixed this week.
Nellie has such a wonderful, solid temperament that we chose her to be the dog to visit an elementary school with us this weekend. Nellie loved the children and they loved her! Lots of kisses, belly rubs, and laying down across several laps at once! Nellie was very disappointed when it was time to leave, she would have been perfectly happy being loved on by little ones all day.

Nellie is good with kitties too even though they do scare her a little bit. She walks well on a leash and loves having a comfy blanket to sleep on in her kennel.

She is a special girl and thanks to her we have been hearing lots of positive comments about Pit Bulls around the shelter lately.

We would love for a family to adopt Nellie and help her continue to be such a great ambassador for her breed!
