About Nellie - 3 Year Old German Pointer X Bull Arab
Nellie is a loyal, loving dog who’s just needs to know what it means to be part of a family. Having spent much of her life as an outdoor dog, Nellie hasn’t received the affection and attention she craves — but she’s keen to make up for lost time! She’s a little shy at first, but then eagerly engages for belly rubs.
This sweet lady loves cuddles and thrives on human companionship. While she’s already learned some basic obedience, Nellie needs ongoing training to help her build confidence and improve her social skills. She is crate trained, walks well on a lead, and loves a daily jog to burn off energy.
Nellie needs:
- A patient, understanding owner who will help her adjust to a more family-oriented lifestyle.
- A secure backyard with high fencing to keep her safe
- A pet-free home – Nellie can be reactive around other dogs, so she needs to be the only pet.
- Lots of affection and indoor time – While she’s used to being outside, Nellie would love to be invited indoors to spend time with the family.
- An active lifestyle – Nellie loves daily jogs and needs plenty of exercise to keep her happy and healthy.
Nellie is in foster care in Port Stephens, NSW. She is available for adoption interstate. The adoption fee is $350. She is desexed, fully vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, and microchipped.

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:
https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
(2) If the questionnaire is approved we will arrange a property check so we
can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster
carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family
member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
