Adopt Nela

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Nela is a big girl with an even bigger heart who travelled all the way from Spain in search of her forever home. Since she arrived with us, she has been full of energy, fun, and affection, a total cuddle monster with a zest for life that was simply infectious. She is the most beautiful, gentle, and loving girl. All of Nela’s travel companions have now found their forever homes, and she is the last one still waiting for her special people to come along. She’s a firm favourite among our staff and volunteers, who describe her as affectionate, loyal, and full of personality. She has stolen more than a few hearts here, if circumstances were different, several of us would have taken her home ourselves! Nela walks beautifully on a Halti, right by your side. She’s a strong girl, but with her Halti she remains calm and comfortable on walks. She can sometimes be selectively reactive towards unfamiliar people, cars, or other dogs, so she’ll need adopters who are confident with large breeds and can help her feel secure and understood. She adores her walks with our experienced volunteer Mal and enjoys spending her days exploring, playing, and relaxing in good company. Nela has made lovely progress socialising with other dogs, she enjoys calm companionship and has gone on gentle play dates with a placid male Labrador, as well as spending time with other male dogs at the rescue. Though she prefers her own space and would be happiest as the only dog in the home, she could possibly live with a calm, medium-to-large male dog following a successful introduction. She cannot live with cats or small furries, and will need an adult-only home with no visiting children. Her ideal adopters will have breed and rescue experience to help her along. Nela has likely never lived in a home before, but she’s almost completely kennel clean here, so with a patient and understanding family, we don’t think it will take her long to settle into home life. Nela arrived with sore ears and has been receiving treatment for Otitis, which is healing well. She has tested negative for Brucellosis, Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma, and she has her own passport. Nela truly is a one-of-a-kind girl, full of love, personality, and potential. She’s been waiting patiently for her forever family, and we know that when the right people meet her, they’ll see what we do: a bright, beautiful soul who just wants to be loved.
