MEET NATE This almost-all-black little guy, with just a hint of white, has a quiet charm that really grows on you. He can be a bit shy when you first meet him, taking a moment to warm up and figure things out—but once he’s comfortable, his personality starts to shine. He’s a sweet mix of gentle and confident. While he may hang back at first, he also has an assertive side that comes out when he knows what he wants (which is usually your attention). He absolutely loves sitting in your lap, soaking up all the affection he can get, especially when it comes to head scratches. Outside time is one of his favorite things—he enjoys exploring, getting fresh air, and just being in the moment. Whether he’s relaxing beside you or quietly following along, he’s happiest when he’s near his person. He’s the kind of pup who may start off a little reserved, but once he trusts you, he becomes a loyal, loving companion with just the right touch of confidence.
