Nelson's Story

Hi! I'm a two-month-old super soft, extra adorable Border Collie mix with the fluffiest fur and the biggest puppy eyes you've ever seen. I'm so small like a stuffed animal - which makes me the perfect size to fit right into your arms (and your heart).<br/><br/>I'm sweet as can be and still learning about this big, exciting world. I love gentle cuddles, cozy blankets, and falling asleep to the sound of someone nearby. Sometimes I wiggle with happy little zoomies, and other times I just want to snuggle up and dream about my forever home.<br/><br/>Since I'm a young pup, I'm hoping for someone patient and kind who can teach me all the important things - like potty training, how to play with toys, and how to be the very best companion. I'm smart (that Border Collie in me!) and eager to learn, especially if there are treats and praise involved.<br/><br/>Most of all, I'm dreaming of a forever family who will love me as I grow, guide me gently, and let me curl up close at the end of every day. I promise to give you tiny tail wags, warm snuggles, and a lifetime of loyal love.
