About Nimbus

Nimbus is a nine-month-old male black Lab mix in Medina, OH looking for a home that appreciates both playtime and cuddles. Life didn’t start out easy for him, but since moving to his foster home, he’s thriving and learning the ropes of being a happy, social puppy. Nimbus picked up house training quickly and is now ringing a bell when he needs to go out. His favorite pastimes include tennis balls, deer antlers, and anything squeaky, making him an entertaining companion. After a good play session, Nimbus is all about curling up on the couch with his foster mom, with the occasional canine sibling joining in the snuggle fest. He’s comfortable in his crate (his “man cave”) and is working on basic manners every day. However, he gets a little too worked up around cats, so a cat-free home is a must. Nimbus does well with other dogs and people he meets, but due to his energy and strength, he’ll do best in a home with kids at least 6 years old and up. Nimbus is eager to find someone to love who will continue his training and give him plenty of affection and structure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
