Nitro aka Nugget Boxer & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Newport, NC

Meet Nitro, a charming, funny, and athletic dog who is full of love and has so much happiness to give! Nitro is a smart and friendly 4-year-old male dog who is looking for a forever home after being returned to the shelter when his previous owners no longer wanted him. He was adopted from the shelter as a young pup and now, after 3.5 years, he is back with us. He is a big boy who is athletic and loves to run and play. He would benefit from a home with a fenced-in yard where he can run and play to his heart's content. Nitro is a charming and happy dog who is affectionate and gets along with people. He is a handsome boy who is sure to steal your heart. Nitro is fully vetted and ready to go to his forever home. If you think that Nitro might be the right dog for you, please come and meet him today to see if he is the missing piece in your heart and home. Maybe Nitro will be the sweetest surprise you ever gave yourself!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
