About Nemo

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Considering Nemo for adoption? Please remember to include your phone number when reaching out! Nemo is a young Yorkshire Terrier fostered in Azle, TX, and his adoption fee is $400. He has tested negative for heartworm and is fully up to date on vaccinations. This little guy is quite the Houdini—he climbs fences and digs in search of adventure! Nemo requires a privacy fence enclosure with absolutely no gaps; if he spots one, he'll squeeze right through. Wrought iron and chain link fences are not suitable, as he's a skilled climber and persistent digger. He should be supervised while outside and needs a securely fenced yard to stay safe. Additionally, Nemo must go to a home without children under 8, with no pool, and must not have a doggie door. At this time, out-of-state adoptions are not available. Please allow time for a response, as volunteers are handling inquiries around their work schedules. Your patience is appreciated, and Nemo can't wait to meet his perfect match! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
