More about Nelly
**Update 8/12 Nelly has now been adopted and is on her trial period**
🐾 Meet Nelly! 🐾
11 months old | Bull Terrier mix | Big heart, even bigger zoomies
We’d love nothing more than to see her find her forever home where she can truly blossom. With dedicated support from our amazing volunteers and staff, she’s come such a long way – and she’s ready to take her next steps with a family of her own.
This playful, people-loving pup came to us from the Christchurch City Council Animal Shelter. She’s curious about the world, always keen for her next adventure, and happiest when she’s included in the action – whether that’s a game in the garden, a walk in the park, or a cuddle on the couch.
With patience and guidance, Nelly’s confidence is growing every day. She’s already improved hugely with her loose lead walking and is becoming more comfortable when meeting new dogs. Her cheeky spark and affectionate nature shine brighter as she learns and grows.
✨ Dog social – a little dramatic at first but settles quickly and loves a fast and flirty play!
✨ Cats – suitable to live with a confident cat
✨ Great with kids and people – would love a family who’ll include her in the fun and help channel her bubbly energy
✨ Still learning the ropes in a home environment – needs a home ready to continue her training and support her growth
Nelly is full of love, energy, and potential. She’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and plenty of zoomies into the life of the right family. Could that be you?
