Nelly 🌼 18 Month Old Dachshund X

Meet Nelly! Your Next Cuddle Buddy, Walking Pal & Tug-of-War Champion! Say hello to Nelly, the sweet, affectionate, and oh-so-clever pup who’s ready to find her forever home!

Nelly is the ultimate mix of snuggly sweetheart and playful goofball with a dash of cheeky charm thrown in.

Couch Potato With a Playful Twist
Nelly is a certified cuddle expert who loves sharing the couch (and your bed if allowed!) She is the perfect living hot water bottle just in time for winter!

🎾 But when the toys come out? It’s game on! She loves a spirited round of tug-of-war, pouncing on her toys with joy, and working her clever nose on her beloved snuffle mat.

Smart, Polite & Toilet Trained!
This clever girl knows all the basics:
Sit, wait, come, recall, and touch tick, tick, tick ✅
She’s also proudly toilet trained and has no trouble using a doggy door, so she's got your routine covered!

Weight: 15kg (on a fabulous fitness journey!)
Nelly walks beautifully on lead and is sticking to a regular 5km+ walking routine to support her weight-loss journey. She’s quite happy snoozing the day away until you say it’s walk time.

📞 She communicates Like a Pro!
No barking needed here Nelly uses her own language of soft sounds, little woofs and polite growls to tell you what she wants. She’ll even gently put her paw on you to request more pats. Heart-melter alert!

💝 Her Perfect Match
Nelly is looking for a home where she can be the only dog (at this stage).
She’s working on building confidence around other dogs and people through ongoing socialisation training, her future family should be willing to support her progress.

She’s happy on her own during the day and will greet you joyfully when you return. 🎉

Once she trusts you, she’s all in cuddly, loyal, and protective in the sweetest way.

She’s after a family who can keep up her daily walkies, playtime, and snuggle quota!
