About Nash

Start your journey together! Apply now. Nash is a ridiculously charming 4-year-old Boston Terrier/Boxer mix with a heart-melting underbite and a perfectly compact 30-pound frame. One look at that sweet face and you’ll understand why everyone falls for him instantly. This affectionate little guy has undergone thorough allergy testing, and as a result, he requires a very strict, specialized diet to stay healthy and comfortable. His allergies are extensive, so it’s essential that his new family is committed to maintaining his food regimen without exceptions. The good news? His cuddles, loyalty, and joyful personality more than make up for the extra care. Nash is a social sweetheart who gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and other critters in his foster home. He’s also known to be gentle and friendly with children. His favorite things include car rides, snuggling close, supervised outdoor play, and long, cozy naps. He does have a bit of a mischievous streak — Nash is an escape artist, so he’ll need a secure yard with a solid fence. He’s been known to scale chainlink fences, so a 6-foot wooden privacy fence is strongly preferred to keep him safe and sound. He’s not one to be left alone for long stretches, so he’ll thrive in a home where someone is around during the day to play with him, let him out regularly, and give him the attention he craves. If you’re looking for a mellow buddy who’s happy to lounge beside you but still enjoys a bit of social time and outdoor fun, Nash could be your perfect match. He’s currently being fostered in Central Texas and is ready to meet the family who’ll love him just the way he is. Could that be you? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
