Say hello to sweet Nelly Mae! She's a calm, well-behaved, lovable young dog, likely a Basset Hound/Beagle mix. She is low-key and even-keeled, calm and happy when meeting new people or visiting new places. She can easily go with the flow in her busy foster home with adults, children, and dogs (she hasn't met any cats yet so we're not sure about them).
Nelly Mae is doing a great job with house training (no accidents in her foster home for the few weeks she's been there). She's comfortable and happy in her crate. She could use a little work on some of her "house manners" (like raiding the garbage), but with a little practice she should be able to master these things in no time. She's a very agreeable and easygoing dog.
Nelly Mae likes walks/hikes, playing with toys, swimming, and playing with other pups, but she is also a pretty laid-back dog. She can be a bit of a couch potato and loves to snuggle! She has an adorable waddling/wiggling kind of walk, and she is such a loving dog.

An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

*Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
