About Nemo

Nemo is about a year and a half old with energy to spare. He’s an active, playful dog who really enjoys romping around with other dogs—he thrives with canine playmates in the yard and has a knack for making friends. Nemo was picked up off the streets of Glenville after being left behind, but he’s never lost his loyal spirit. Now, he’s hoping to find someone who appreciates that devotion. Since joining foster care, Nemo has figured out house training well. He waits to be let out of his crate and heads straight outside, and he’s quiet while crated. He’s the kind of dog who brings joy to his foster family, always up for a run or game with his dog buddies. Nemo’s not a fit for homes with cats, as his breed mix tends to chase small animals. Born January 1st, he’s a Capricorn—a sign known for determination. Nemo is ready to show someone what a loyal, fun, and active companion looks like. Ready to fall in love?
