Nellie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Here at our sanctuary, we are looking for a very special home for Nellie, a lovely 3-year-old King Charles Spaniel cross who has quickly captured our hearts. Nellie is a sweet-natured, affectionate, and friendly girl who absolutely loves people. She has a gentle personality and thrives on companionship, always wanting to be close to those she trusts. She greets everyone with a wagging tail and a soft, loving nature that makes her a joy to be around. Nellie has a wonderful balance of energy – she loves to run around, play, and enjoy her walks, but she’s just as happy to slow things down and curl up on your knee for a cuddle. She truly enjoys the simple things in life: fresh air, kind company, and plenty of affection. Nellie would make a wonderful addition to a family home or for someone looking for a loyal and loving companion. She would benefit from a home where she can receive plenty of attention and be included in everyday life, as she truly thrives on human connection. If you believe you can offer Nellie the happy future she deserves, we would love to hear from you.

About Nellie

What life with Nellie looks like

Nellie is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nellie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nellie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Assisi Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nellie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nellie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Assisi Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nellie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nellie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Assisi Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nellie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
