Nelson - Pomeranian and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Nelson Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin
Nelson is part of an owner-surrender/hoarding situation in Mississippi where his owner currently
has approximately 40 Pomeranian/Chihuahua mixes and can no longer care for them. Nelson
has spent his entire life in this overcrowded home and has never experienced life outside of that
environment. He is scheduled to travel to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on
Saturday, 10/10 and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to make the trip.
Meet Nelson
Nelson is a tiny, sweet boy who is ready for a fresh start and the chance to discover what life is
like in a loving home. At just 9 months old, he has spent his entire life in an overcrowded
environment with many other dogs and will have a lot of new experiences ahead of him.
Nelson will likely be shy and unsure when he first arrives. Everything about life in Wisconsin,
from being in a home to meeting new people and experiencing the outside world, may be
completely new to him. He will need a patient family who is willing to give him time to feel safe,
build confidence, and warm up.
His new family should be prepared for an adjustment period and understand that Nelson may
not immediately come out of his shell. He will need reassurance, patience, and plenty of time to
learn that he is safe. With consistency and love, we hope to see this little guy gain confidence
and discover his sweet personality.
Nelson will also need help learning the basics of being a house dog. Potty training, crate
training, and leash walking are unknown, so his foster or adopter should be prepared to
patiently teach him these skills. He has lived with many other dogs and may benefit from having
a friendly, confident dog around as he adjusts to his new life.
Nelson is looking for someone who understands that earning his trust may take time. He may be
nervous at first, but he deserves the opportunity to learn what it feels like to be loved, safe, and
part of a family.
