Meet Nelly
Nelly is a shy boy. He’s a 10 pound, 7-year-old Chihuahua mix who prefers to be alone. Maybe that’s because he spent his previous life in a hoarding situation and now he’d like some alone time. Whatever the reason, he’ll open up more with time and your patience. He’s treat motivated and enjoys stuffies and fluffy dog beds. With time and a bit of work, not to mention treats, this is a boy who will settle down into a happy life with you!

Transport Fee: $170.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** " " "
