Nellie Bell

Fill out an adoption form

Nellie is a happy, very lovable dog. She loves to cuddle and sleep in the bed with her people. Did I say she LOVES LOVES LOVES to cuddle??

She is very friendly and loves playing with her foster siblings, a pom and a lab and even the resident cat! She actually smiles and is so appreciative of being safe for the first time in her life. She came to us after being bought as a puppy, then her owner tired of her quickly and left her out in a pen for 5 years. Anna, her foster mom, contacted us and asked if she would foster could we take her in. She felt Nellie was just too special not to have a wonderful life! We of course said yes!

Nellie is left alone while her humans work. She stays in the house with the pom, cat, and lab. She doesn’t like a crate and will whine. She does like toys, but if the other dogs come over she will let them take them away, she is very submissive to other animals.

Nellie would do well in almost any home and would love to be the Bell of your ball!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Interested in a specific dog, please fill out an application if you are interested in a dog. The number of individual inquiries is overwhelming and we are finding it difficult to respond to each one. We cannot guarantee you will receive a timely response.

Paws New England is a rescue, not a shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location - they are in foster homes both in New England and in our southern foster homes.   If you’re interested in a specific dog, please complete a short online application and you will receive a reply within 48 hours so you can ask questions.

At present, if a dog is listed on our website, the dog is considered still available HOWEVER, may have applications that have come in before yours but it’s still too early to know if any are a good match; therefore we encourage you to apply.

NOTICE WITH REGARD TO LOCATION OF DOGS:  Please note: Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. We do not have a brick and mortar building to house the dogs we rescue. We have found that dogs in foster homes are much more adoptable because they have been observed in a home setting. Dogs listed with Paws New England typically reside in various locations throughout the south (primarily Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas) and New England (not necessarily in the state of Rhode Island). You will be notified by the adoption coordinator of the location of the dog you are interested in so you have the ability to decide whether to pursue adoption or not.

Dogs transported to New England are done so at a fee of $150.00 paid directly to the transporting company by Paws New England; no additional transport costs are responsibility of adopter. This fee is included in the adoption donation.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your dog will help others in need.

All known information about the animal is listed above. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.

Paws New England abides by the dog importation regulations set forth in the states of MA, CT, NH and RI.
