Nemo is a 13-year-old apricot poodle with a gentle soul, a love of snacks and a quiet hope for a
place to settle in forever. This sweet senior was surrendered when his owner had to move, and
despite the sudden upheaval in his life, he’s been steadily becoming more comfortable in his
foster home and showing just how loving and loyal he truly is.
Nemo loves nothing more than to be near you — whether you’re puttering around the house or
enjoying some fresh air outside. He loves exploring the yard, happily “supervising” his
surroundings, and gets excited the moment he sees his harness and leash. For a senior, he’s
surprisingly active and always up for tagging along.
He’s house trained, non-destructive when left alone, and does well without a crate. Nemo also adores people and other dogs, though he may be a little shy at first. Offer him a treat, and you’ll quickly win him over. Car rides can still make him a bit nervous, but he’s learning that they can lead to good things. With patience, consistency, and a calm home, Nemo continues to blossom.
Potential adopters will need to note that Nemo has a Stage 5 heart murmur, but that it is not
currently affecting his day-to-day life or requiring medication. In fact, he even went through a
complete dental recently under general anaesthetic with no issues! His future family will need to be aware of this condition, however, and are urged to discuss with their vet.
What Nemo needs most now is someone with a big heart — someone who sees the beauty in
giving a senior dog comfort, stability and love in his golden years. In return, he’ll offer quiet
companionship, gentle affection and unwavering loyalty. If you believe every dog deserves a soft
place to land, Nemo is waiting for you.
