About Nolan

Meet Nolan! This charming 3.5-month-old Shepherd mix weighs around 18 pounds and is already stealing hearts. We estimate he’ll grow to about 60 pounds, but that’s just a guess. Nolan is a sweet, happy, and playful puppy with a wonderful personality. He has a big heart and plenty of potential to become an amazing lifelong companion. Nolan thrives on fun and loves to play! He enjoys wrestling and playing chase with the bigger dogs in his foster home and keeps up effortlessly. He has also been great with children who understand that he’s still a puppy learning his manners. Full of joyful energy, Nolan is always ready for adventure or a little playtime. We absolutely love how smart and eager to learn Nolan is. His food motivation makes training a rewarding experience. He’s already getting the hang of walking on a leash, although he tends to weave a bit. Curious and attentive, he’s keen to please, and with positive reinforcement, he will continue to build his skills beautifully. Nolan’s loyal side is already showing as he enjoys bonding with his people. He’s making fantastic progress with his house manners as well! Nolan sleeps in a crate and has gone multiple nights without accidents. Though still working on house training, he rang the potty bells to let his foster family know when he needed to go outside. His future family should be prepared for consistent training and helping him grow into a well-mannered adult dog. We hope to find Nolan an active, loving family eager to raise a smart, playful Shepherd mix! He will grow into a wonderful medium-to-large-sized companion who enjoys playing, exploring, and staying engaged.
