Nelson's Story

Meet Nelson — A Curious, Playful Soul with a Big Heart<br/><br/>Nelson is a sweet adult pup with a curious nature and a love for exploring the world around him. He wants to sniff and smell everything, taking in each moment with enthusiasm and joy. One of his favorite things is leaning in close for pets, making it clear he truly enjoys being with people.<br/><br/>Despite being six years old, Nelson’s playful spirit would have you guessing he’s much younger. He has a fun, upbeat energy and brings a smile wherever he goes. Volunteers consistently say they love spending time with him — he’s a very good boy who especially loves snacks, which makes bonding and training even more fun.<br/><br/>Nelson tested positive for heartworm, and HSNT covers his full treatment after adoption. He's feeling good and ready for his new beginning.<br/><br/>Nelson would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a dog with personality, warmth, and plenty of happy energy to share.<br/><br/>A Volunteer Prospective - Doggy Day out with Nelson<br/>I had a very relaxing afternoon with Mr. Nelson. He definitely prefers being off leash and he is so sweet! We worked on sitting on command and played some fetch with a tennis ball. He’s also a pro in the car! I’m still shocked that he’s not a puppy, he has so much energy! But once he gets comfortable, he becomes a total cuddle bug. I know he will make some lucky family very happy!

I had a very relaxing afternoon with Mr. Nelson. He definitely prefers being off leash and he is so sweet! We worked on sitting on command and played some fetch with a tennis ball. He’s also a pro in the car! I’m still shocked that he’s not a puppy, he has so much energy! But once he gets comfortable, he becomes a total cuddle bug.
