Nelson packs a lot of personality into a medium frame, with a love for running and playful romps outside. He’s happiest when paired with dogs that understand boundaries and aren’t overly dominant. To keep him safe and comfortable, a securely fenced yard—not just a kennel, and never underground fencing—is a must, though some exceptions are considered for apartment living depending on the dog. Nelson needs to live inside as a real part of the family, not simply as a backyard companion. Play and companionship drive him, and he’s ready for a home where he’s included in daily life. Visits are set by appointment, so get in touch if you’re serious about meeting Nelson. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
