He joined the PAWs to Prison program uncertain about the world, bearing small scars that hint at a tough beginning. Because of this, Nachito can be timid in busy or crowded environments, but underneath, he is a remarkable dog ready to blossom with the right companion. As a Carolina Dog (also known as an American Dingo), Nachito is incredibly loyal once a bond is formed, and the connection is truly meaningful.

Nachito already knows commands like sit, lay down, wait, and heel, and he is potty trained outside of his kennel. Most importantly, he has never shown aggression—just a sensitive, open heart learning to feel safe again. He is searching for a patient and understanding home that will provide the reassurance, time, and kindness he needs to come fully out of his shell.
