Nelly - 4 Month Old Great Dane X (On Trial)

Meet Nelly, or more affectionately known as Nelly belly. She is a larger than life enthusiastic ball of cuddles who loves just about everybody and everything – humans, dogs, toys, children – you name it, she loves it.

You’ll never be without entertainment watching Nelly run around and play. Being a Great Dane x, her long legs remind you of a baby giraffe learning to run – limbs everywhere and a little bit of clumsiness. But more often than not, you can find sweet Nelly stretched out and happily dreaming on the lounge.

She is super affectionate and loves to give you kisses and is content laying next to you (or on you) while watching tv. Nelly enjoys chewing on bones and stays busy for ages when given treats or food in a Kong.

Arriving in care after being in a rural pound for a couple weeks, Nelly has almost mastered toilet training and is more than 90% there, however, when its raining the princess side of her comes out as she doesn’t like to get her feet wet. With a gentle reminder and some encouragement, she is happy to quickly venture out for a toilet break.

Nelly is currently living with two young children aged 6 and 8 however, being a puppy she can be a bit mouthy (not aggressive or rough) so we recommend kids over 10-12 years old. She is also living with two poodle foster siblings who she gets along with great and would thrive having a fursibling in her new home.

We love having this cheeky girl, but it's time for Nelly the elephant to find her own circus.

•Fun, playful and cuddly
•Will grow to be a large dog (30kg +)
• Must have secure 1.8m/6ft high fencing

Nelly’s adoption fee is $700 which includes her desexing when she is old enough. It also includes her first two vaccinations. She has been treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped.

Nelly is in foster care in Newcastle area, NSW. Since she is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. She’ll need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when she's 5 to 6 months old.
