About Nano

Meet Nano! This spirited one-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd mix is currently residing in Santa Clarita, CA, and is a playful burst of loyalty and affection with a handsome tan and black coat. Weighing in at about 48 pounds, he’s a medium-sized boy with a goofy streak and a big heart for his favorite people. Nano loves to play, run around, and soak up affection. Once he feels comfortable, his snuggly personality truly shines. He’s intelligent, having completed extensive professional training. Nano knows commands like sit, stay, heel, jump, place, and shake. He’s crate trained, house-trained, and can be left alone in his crate for short periods. This clever guy thrives with consistency and structure in his routine, so continued positive reinforcement will help him build on his skills. Though he has made strides with resource guarding, his new family should respect his training for his comfort and confidence. A fenced yard is needed for this lively goofball to explore and enjoy outdoor adventures. Nano does well with dogs but requires gradual introductions. A cat-free home is best since his compatibility with cats isn’t established. He interacts well with calm, respectful school-age children. Nano is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and healthy. He’s ready for a committed pet parent who appreciates his intelligence and nurtures their bond. Could Nano be the clever, playful sidekick ready to share life’s adventures with you?
