DARWIN - Boxer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Omaha, Nebraska

Darwin is a big guy who's a little scared of the world. He seeks comfort from his human buds and it's impossible not to hug him and squeeze him like the baby he is when he leans his face nervously into you! This bub has come such a long way since he arrived at NHS. He's gaining confidence daily and it's so sweet to see him come into his own. He loves to gently explore on leash, always making sure you're close by. He seems housetrained and mostly ignores other dogs on walks.

Darwin will need someone who'll keep helping him get comfortable in the world. He'll need to meet any potential dog siblings before going home and may do best with a lady dog. Come meet this cutie!
