Can anybody Fix Nellie’s broken 💔
Poor Nellie is a dog that just can’t catch a break 😞 she has the worst luck in the world
she has found herself back in kennels for the third time
This is just so awful for her and so confusing, she is not even 2 years old
This poor girl has been let down time and time again and she’s not done a thing wrong
Nellie was originally adopted last year and was originally called “Narla “ , she was very happy and everything was going well, but sadly the dog she was re homed with became very jealous as time went on meaning Nellie had to return for her own safety
Nellie has several surgeries on her cherry eye and it’s failed each time
She had a double cherry eye repair operation 6 months ago and one eye was successful and one eye is very stubborn and keeps popping out!
Nellie then found another home where she stayed for 6 months and was re named “Nellie”, she thought this was home 😞
she had a second repair done and sadly this failed again, her adopter decided because the cherry eye popped back out they couldn’t keep her as they were not prepared to get the eye repaired ,so she returned for a second time
Nellie then went to a foster home with view to adopt , it was all going brilliantly and they loved her, but after the eye popped out a third time after a third surgery they decided it wasn’t something they could deal with going forward and despite her settling and really thinking she was home, they returned her 😞
Nellie doesn’t know if she’s coming or going , she is not even 2 years old
we are so desperate for some stability for her and a family that just love her for who she is and accepts that this will eventually be fixed, she is now seeing a specialist to see what the next steps are for trying to sort this
It is exhausting trying to match the dogs with the right homes, and we try and do the best job we can, but clearly for Narla we just haven’t found her people yet , people that love her enough to stick by her
Narla is a mastiff x Bulldog
She is 16 months old
She came in as a puppy and has only known disruption in her life 😞 and people letting her down
She can live with children aged 9 and over ( due to her bouncy and playful nature)
she would benefit from living with another dog as she loves to play but equally could be an only dog
she loves water and swimming!
she is brilliant off lead , can be strong and excitable on lead at times
needs further training as she’s like and overgrown puppy and doesn’t know what is expected of her
is housetrained
travels in the car well
Nellie really is a dog that will love you forever if you just give her a chance
The eye treatment has all so far been funded by the rescue and has been a huge financial burden but we are determined to sort this for her and find her the life she so deserves
the next step is to see a specialist
please share for Nellie, she desperately deserves some stability and to be out of kennels
please note we are looking for a permanent home not a foster, this next home really needs to be her last
