Nellie and her tiny family are originally from Cameron, MO. Temporarily living in a barn, the rural Cameron Shelter put out a plea that sweet Nellie needed a soft place to land. Without a second thought, we swiftly secured a foster and brought all nine dogs to Great Plains SPCA.
Nellie is estimated to be a two-year-old Heeler/Shepherd weighing in at only 35 pounds. After a life of unknown turmoil she is reasonably protective of her babies. But with a few soft treats and love, she has melted into the laps of every person she met. All eight of her puppies are healthy, chunky, and learning to play as their little bodies continue to grow. Names haven’t been decided just yet, but our dedicated foster is looking forward to seeing their personalities and choosing names that fit them perfectly. There’s a good mix of sassy, sweet, and everything in-between with this litter!
Our foster mom has promised to keep us updated on the shenanigans that this spunky litter gets up to. Keep an eye on our social media for more puppy cuteness!
