Nestor Saint Bernard Mix Chandler, AZ

Hi, I'm Nestor. I'm 8 years young and if you've heard the saying, "my face may be white, but my heart is pure gold", well whoever said that was 100% talking about me! I'm a Saint Bernard mix and I'm 85 pounds of love, joy, and sweetness.

A few months ago, life wasn't great. I had escaped wherever I had been living and triggered the sensor for a family's outdoor camera. Some people say it's luck that it happened at the home of a long time AZHT foster family, but with age comes wisdom, and I knew that was where I needed to be. I hung around their front yard for a few minutes and happily let them pet me, but my life was made when they opened the back door to the truck and I got to hop in for a car ride. You see, I was a bit of a medical mess. I was missing the fur on most of my backend and other patches throughout my body and they could see and smell the infection in my ears. It took months for me to get better, but even when i felt my worse, I was still the sweetest guy. My allergies and ear infection are under control, but I need on-going care like good food and monthly allergy shots to keep me at my best.

I live in a busy foster home with both medium and small dog and I love them all! I've also never met a human I couldn't make my best friend. I wasn't socialized much in my earlier years so I don't really 'get' how to play like a dog, but who needs to play when you can get ear scratches, booty scratches, and snuggles?!

My favorite things include car rides, short walks, more car rides, naps, the occasional trashcan exploring, and even more car rides! I'm looking for a forever family to enjoy my senior years with me and give me ALL the love and attention I deserved the first 8 years. I sure hope I find them soon! ♥ Nestor
