His Ideal Match:
Nelson needs a family that is experienced with "dog body language" and can provide him with a low-stress environment. He is a loving boy, but he thrives when his personal space is respected and his surroundings are peaceful. In a quiet home without the sudden movements of small children, Nelson’s best side really shines.
