Phone interviews do not take place til after an approved application is on file and we have a possible match for your home Hello, my name is Nelson. I turn 2 years old in Sept and weigh 24 pounds. I was released by a breeder. I am being fostered in Des Moines, IA. I am living with other dogs right now and I get along with all of them! I love to cuddle and share snacks with my human pack. I am also working on learning how to walk on a leash, but I am a real quick learner. I am a PRO at knowing I need to potty outside. I have never belonged to a family, so I am anxious to be loved and cared for. I also get very excited over toys and pillows. I like to carry things around, but I do not chew them up. I can be your perfect companion to take outside and play, or I am happy to cuddle with you under a blanket with my head on a pillow. Here's a little more about me: Housetrained? Almost and doing great Leash-trained? working on it Rides well in car? yes Good with other dogs? yes and enjoy their company Good with cats? not yet tested Good with young children? yes Good with strangers? yes Shy or confident? both depending on the situation Barks? no Apartment qualified? yes Any Special needs or Health Issues? none Adoption Fee? $ 450 The adoption process starts with an Online Adoption Application you can find at ''https://www.adoptaboston.com/adoption-application. All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Other medical needs diagnosed while in foster care are also treated prior to adoption. MABTR requires a fenced in area from families who own their home, however we DO adopt to apartment complexes and communities where fences are not permitted due to leases and covenants. In these cases a leash law must be enforced. We do not accept invisible fencing. MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.
