Nate might be a bit shy at first, but give him a little time, and you'll see his loving nature shine through. He prefers being near his favorite person over being the center of attention. Whether you're going for a walk, relaxing at home, or simply moving from one room to another, Nate is eager to be by your side. He's friendly with other dogs and enjoys learning new things.

With a gentle personality, Nate forms strong bonds with those he trusts. After having experienced a life on his own, he’s ready for a loving family where he can feel safe and cherished. Nate simply wants to be part of a home, not run it. Could you be the one to give him that second chance?
