DHS does not have a facility. All of our animals are housed in foster homes. Therefore, we require having a completed adoption application on file before we ask our foster families to rearrange their schedules for a meet and greet or answer individual inquiries. And, please be patient, we are staffed only by volunteers. It may be a few days before you hear from us.
Nellie was turned in from West Carroll Parish. Like us, they have no shelter. Nellie had been dumped off on a country road. She found her way to the nearest house and they cared for her until they could contact us. Just days after we got her, she had 6 puppies. She was a wonderful mama but her babies have good homes now, and it is Nellie's turn to find a loving secure home for the very first time. She is a sweet gentle dog who only wants to please. She is so happy when she gets attention that she practically does flips. She is a good watch dog too but wouldn't hurt a flea.....well maybe a flea. She can be very playful, taking gloves out of your pocket, and will click her teeth in excitement when playing.
Nellie initially was heatworm positive . From being on heartworm preventative, (doing the slow cure method), she is now negative.
This girl has so much love to give. She will be a wonderful family pet!!!!

More about Nellie
Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids
All of our adoptable pets are housed with foster families. When age appropriate, they have been spay/neutered, crate, leash and house trained. They have all been living in a family environment so have been evaluated for temperament and personality. We believe that we should know each pet well enough to make sure that when adopted, everyone lives happily ever after. Since all of our animals are housed with fosters, we ask that you submit a completed application before we answer individual inquiries. Submitting an application never obligates you to adopt but we will have a better understanding of your needs so that we can better answer your questions.
