Nelly & Ricky The Dynamic Duo!

Description

Successfully rehomed by R.A.I.N. - Rescuing Animals in Need

Nelly and Ricky, what an amazing pair! These dogs are both terrific on their own...but get them together and they are a wonderful pair of rescue pups that complement each other totally! Nelly is a small (38lbs) 2 year old Weimaraner and staffie mix who loves people and other pups (especially Ricky!). Ricky is a 1 year old Pug Terrier mix who is also tiny (25 lbs) but super playful and friendly. Both dogs are in foster together in Seattle, which is how we realized they’d be perfect adopted together! Ricky can be shy and Nelly makes him brave…Nelly can be a little fearful of new situations people and Ricky makes her outgoing and confident- a perfect match if there ever was one! Both dogs attend day care at Metro Dog in Seattle and play hard all day with others. Both pups are crate trained and house trained. Nelly is spayed, and Rick is neutered.

Both are current on all vaccines and heartworm negative. Both love car rides, walk well on leashes and do everything better- TOGETHER! Ricky and Nelly were rescued separately out of high kill north Georgia shelters and both on their last days. Nelly made the journey to Washington on driving transport as did Ricky- a long way to come to find you and their wonderful new Northwest homes. This dynamic duo’s foster mom just loves them both and it was her suggestion to try to place together.
