Description:

Nellie is a 5-month-old female pit mix weighing about 27 pounds. Despite the rough start she’s had, Nellie is an incredibly sweet, gentle puppy with so much love to give.

She was heartbreakingly seen being thrown from a truck, and the driver has not yet been identified. Thankfully, Nellie was not injured. What could have broken her spirit didn’t—she remains trusting, affectionate, and eager for human connection.

Nellie is now searching for a foster home where she can finally feel safe, loved, and cared for as she deserves. She’s still just a baby and would thrive in a home willing to give her patience, kindness, and a soft place to land.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
