Nolan - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Fredericksburg, Virginia

Meet Nolan!

Nolan came into rescue with severely matted fur and very underweight, but after getting the care he needed and resolving some digestive issues, this sweet boy has blossomed into the life of the party! He's smart, playful, affectionate, and always ready for his next adventure-or snack!

- Sweet, playful, and full of personality
- Loves kids and enjoys sleepovers with them
- Loves toys, especially balls, and enjoys puzzles
- Enjoys walks and staying active
- VERY food motivated!
- Smart boy who knows sit, stay, and down
- Knows words like "toy," "ball," "doll," and "treat"
- Plays well with other dogs
- Champion snuggler with his people
- Sleeps quietly in his crate overnight
- Goes into his crate during the day, though he may protest a little first
- Cooperative with grooming and even wanted his teeth cleaned after watching his foster dog friend!
- Working on house manners and trying hard to be a good boy

Nolan would make a wonderful addition to an active family who can keep his mind busy, play a good game of fetch, and give him plenty of love. If you're looking for a smart, fun-loving companion who believes life is better with toys, treats, and cuddles, Nolan is your guy!

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.

ODHS adoption events are typically at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Wednesdays 5-7pm, Saturdays 12-4pm, and Sundays 11am-1pm. Please check our Facebook...
