About Nelson
Nelson is a resilient and affectionate puppy with a remarkable journey. Found alone on the streets of Texas at just 8-10 weeks old, he was likely abandoned. After entering rescue, he faced a tough battle with parvovirus but showcased his incredible spirit and determination to recover fully. At around 15-16 weeks old and weighing approximately 25 pounds, Nelson is believed to be a Boxer mix, potentially combined with Labrador Retriever or other breeds. He's expected to mature into a medium to large-sized dog as he grows. With a personality as bright as his good looks, Nelson is playful and outgoing. He loves being around people, playing with his canine friends, and exploring his surroundings. After a day of adventure, he enjoys settling down for some tender snuggles. Raised in foster care, Nelson has done well with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a versatile addition to any home. He’s social and adaptable, ready to bring joy to a family with children or other pets. As a young puppy, Nelson is still mastering the basics of training. He is currently working on house training, crate training, and leash manners, and is progressing nicely. His new family should be prepared to continue guiding him as he grows into adulthood. Nelson is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, cleared for adoption by a vet. Life has dealt him challenges, but he’s ready for a fresh start with a family that will love and care for him. Give him the home he has been waiting for. Apply today!
