Hi, my name is Nelly. I came up from Kentucky to Illinois for the Christmas holiday and  since I have been here I have been enjoying my new comfy life and all my new toys. I have not met a toy that I haven’t liked, but I tend to like the ones that my foster sister has the best . I play a strong game of tug and am learning to love fetch as I run super fast. I get a little excited at times when I am having a lot of fun playing so I need a house that has older kids.As much as I play I love naps and I sleep through the night with my foster mom but they say I  snore really LOUD. I love love ,kisses and hugs from everyone .  I am a little over a year old and weigh 45 pounds. I am potty trained with timing and crate trained. I enjoy my morning and evening walks . I don’t like getting into a car cause that is still really new to me  but I  love riding and looking out the windows the entire drive after I get in. . If my water bowl is empty I will bring it to you to show you. I love all dogs big and small!  I’ve learned to sit and lay down and many other things, so my foster family says I’m super smart . If you wanna lay on the couch, I definitely can be your cuddly blanket, if you can get past my snoring . I take all my treats super gentle and enjoy my food . I am inquisitive and eager to learn. I am athletic girl who will want to exercise a lot as I am young and silly .
