Meet the delightful Natz! 🌟 This 1-year-old male Labrador Retriever/Collie mix is ready to steal your heart! Weighing in at a sprightly 37 lbs, he’s the perfect blend of sweetness and intelligence. 🌈 Now, let’s be real—Natz isn’t one to rush in. He’s a bit of a cautious fella, but once he trusts you, it’s like a snuggle switch has been flipped! 🥰 Natz made the big journey from Alabama to Minnesota with his brother Niklas, and what a journey it's been! When he first arrived, he was unsure of his new surroundings, but give him just a few minutes, and his gentle charm starts to shine. Natz is not just a pretty face; he’s also a quick learner, picking up puppy manners like 'sit' in no time. 🚶‍♂️ He adores long, leisurely walks and is learning to channel his enthusiasm while on a leash. And guess what? He’s dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and child-friendly! 🌼 He does great in his crate but prefers to roam free, soaking up all the love and snuggles (trust us, he’s a cuddler!). What really sets Natz apart is his incredible loyalty. He may start off a little reserved, but once he bonds with his family, he pours out affection like it’s going out of style! 💖 Just imagine those cozy nights spent snuggling up to this fluffy ball of joy after a day filled with playful puppy energy. His thoughtful nature and love for routine make him a sweet companion! Just so you know, Natz thrives in a townhome or condo, as apartment living isn’t quite his style. But hey, if you have room in your heart and home for this marvelous pup, Natz is ready to fill it with love! From his perspective, everything feels so much safer when curled up next to his humans, and he’s eager to find that special someone who will be his forever family. So what are you waiting for?
