Nemo

Nemo is a pit hound mix, male, about 8 months old. He is white with dark patches over both eyes and dark ears, and he still has the long legs and loose stride of a dog who has some filling out left to do.<br/><br/>He came in as an owner surrender along with his dad, Marlin. The two of them are easy together, but Nemo does not need his father in order to do well, and he can go home on his own.<br/><br/>He is very good with other dogs. That is not a guess, it is what we see with him, and it opens up a lot of homes that are closed to a lot of dogs.<br/><br/>With people he is friendly and he is also still building his confidence. He wants to come say hello, and he does better when the hello comes to him gently instead of all at once. In a home where he is allowed to take that at his own pace, the confidence keeps coming, and another steady dog in the house would do more for him than anything a person could teach him.<br/><br/>He already knows sit, and he is very motivated by treats, which makes him a pleasure to work with. Show him what earns the reward and he stays with you.<br/><br/>At a year old, with hound in the mix, he has real energy to spend. He will do best with people who plan to spend it with him, through walks, training, and something to keep his head busy. This is not a dog who wants to lie around all day.<br/><br/>He has not been around cats or children that we know of, so we cannot make promises in either direction, and slow supervised introductions would be the right way to find out.<br/><br/>We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability.

He has not been around cats or children that we know of, so we cannot make promises in either
