Meet Nellie! We think Nellie is around 4-6 years old-quite a bit younger than the shelter originally estimated. Apparently, even shelters can get a lady's age wrong!

This gorgeous blue Doberman has the classic cropped ears and docked tail that make people stop and admire her. But Nellie's real beauty comes from her sweet, expressive eyes and her loving personality.

When Nellie first came into rescue, she had some hair thinning and patchy hair loss. Typical with blue Dobermans but her hair is getting thicker! She's feeling so much better these days, although she may always need a little extra skin care and a sweater collection, such a Diva! She was also heartworm positive when she arrived in January, but she has successfully completed her treatment, thanks to some loving rescue angels who footed her entire vet bill with the best specialist in the USA, they even did a full cardio work up on Nellie who has been found clear of any kind of heart issues! This girl has been given a clean bill of health by the best doctors a dog could ever want. She's healthy, happy, and finally ready to find the forever home she's been waiting for.

Nellie is incredibly smart and absolutely loves training. She enjoys learning new things, thrives on attention, and forms deep bonds with her people. She's affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she's spending time with her favorite humans.

Now, let's talk about Nellie's one little request... She has informed us (quite clearly, we might add) that she'd really prefer to be the Queen of Her Castle. While she can be selective about other dogs, she has absolutely no doubts about people-they're her favorite! She'd love a home where she can soak up all the attention, supervise the household, and keep a watchful eye on her kingdom from a securely fenced yard. Neighborhood squirrels have been put on notice. Oh and no cats please.

Poor Nellie has been patiently waiting in rescue far longer than she should have. Frankly, she's starting to wonder if she's accidentally become part of the office furniture. Every day she checks the schedule, wondering when her family is finally going to show up. She's beginning to suspect everyone thinks she's on the management team. We are going to have to start giving her a paycheck if she doesn't find her family soon!

Nellie promises to be your loyal shadow, your faithful protector, your walking buddy, your couch companion, and your biggest fan. In return, she asks for belly rubs, a comfy bed, plenty of love, treats and the official title of Chief Executive Doberman of your household.

If you're looking for a loyal best friend with a wonderful sense of humor, a gentle soul, and just the right amount of royal attitude, Nellie is ready to rule your heart.

Please! Don't make Her Majesty wait any longer. She has a kingdom to run-and she's hoping it's yours. ❤️
