Nelson keeps a fast pace and thrives in active settings. He is most content with another dog companion or in a home where people are up for regular activity—think walks, playtime, or anything to burn off his extra energy. Shelter life left its mark, so Nelson does have some separation anxiety, though it’s improving. Expect a few vocal minutes when you leave; he quiets quickly after you’re out. Nelson does well with other dogs, but cats or small animals aren’t a match. In households with children, older kids suit him best since he tends to get carried away and could accidentally knock younger ones down. Nelson comes fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and kept current on heartworm prevention. He’s ready to settle into a new routine with the right family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
