About Nanook

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Nanook! Nanook is a 6-year-old, 48 lb Border Collie/McNab who came to us from an overcrowded shelter. This handsome boy is sweet, smart, and friendly, blending maturity with a zest for adventure. He enjoys spending time with people and other dogs, showcasing a happy, affectionate personality. As a herder, he's intelligent and eager to engage, making him a wonderful companion for someone with an active lifestyle. Daily walks, hikes, and outdoor explorations are just what he loves. While he's still perfecting his leash manners and can be a strong puller, especially when distracted by squirrels or bunnies, he thrives with a confident handler who can guide him in developing those skills. After coming from a rural environment, Nanook would be happiest in a peaceful home, away from the city's hustle and bustle, where he can enjoy open spaces and relaxed strolls. If you're looking for a loyal companion ready to share adventures and quality time, Nanook might just be the perfect fit for your family. He’s eager to transition from shelter life to a forever home where he can truly flourish! Nanook is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.
