Meet Nelson - "Ageless Wonder" Ready for His Forever Co-Pilot!
Nelson is a 6-year-old soul with the playful heart of a puppy! He is the perfect "adventure-ready" companion who has already mastered the art of being a gentleman in the real world.
Volunteer Perspective: A Day Out with Nelson
"I had a very relaxing afternoon with Mr. Nelson. He is a total pro in the car and his energy would have you guessing he’s a puppy! He was so sweet working on his 'sit' command and playing fetch with his tennis balls. Once he gets comfortable, he becomes a total 'cuddle bug'—I’m shocked this sweet boy is still waiting for a family!"
Why Nelson is a "Hidden Gem":
The Ultimate Lean-In: Nelson doesn't just want pets; he leans his whole heart into you to show he enjoys your company.
Curious & Upbeat: He loves to explore and sniff the world, bringing a smile to everyone he meets.
Snack-Motivated: He loves his treats, which makes bonding and continued training a fun, easy experience.
Nelson is Heartworm positive, but don't let that stop you—HSNT fully covers the cost of his treatment, and our amazing veterinary team will guide you every step of the way! He is feeling great and ready for his fresh start!
Nelson has outgrown the puppy chaos but kept all the fun. He is "move-in ready" and waiting for a family to share his happy energy with.
Come meet this volunteer favorite at HSNT today!
ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
