Personality in 3 words: Playful, Affectionate, Curious
Ned Nickerson is Nancy Drew’s handsome co-star, and he’s ready to crack the case of finding his forever home! This 12-week-old shepherd mix has gorgeous tri-coloring that makes him look like he’s already wearing a little detective’s coat. His cute ears have just started to stand up — they’re still figuring out their final pose.
Ned is all puppy: playful, snuggly, and completely obsessed with treats, snacks, and investigating everything with his nose. He’s an affectionate boy who wants to be wherever you are, whether that’s romping in the yard or flopping in your lap for cuddle time.
Working on: Potty training and puppy manners. He’s eager to learn, especially if snacks are involved, and just needs a patient family to teach him the ropes.
Ideal home: An active, loving home that will keep his brain and body busy. He’d love a fenced yard, a toy box he can raid, and humans who think puppy training is a fun bonding activity. Great with respectful kids and likely fine with other dogs.
If you need a loyal, goofy sidekick for all of life’s adventures, Ned’s your guy.
