About Nemo

Meet Nemo, our lovable young German Shepherd mix searching for a foster or forever home. He’s about to complete his six-week board and train program, where he’s made incredible progress in obedience, confidence, and social skills. But what he truly needs now is a place to call home. Nemo is an affectionate and intelligent boy who thrives on companionship. He forms deep bonds with his humans and is especially excited to be part of an active family that enjoys hiking, running, and outdoor adventures. While he plays well with other dogs, he requires a household without small animals and would do best with children aged 15 and older who can respect his boundaries. Though his training has equipped him well, Nemo needs a calm environment where he can build strong relationships without the stresses of traditional boarding. He’s a talented escape artist when it comes to climbing fences, so supervision outdoors is essential. The best part? He comes with lifetime training support to help him and his new family flourish together. If fostering is more your speed, it's a fantastic option, too! Providing Nemo with a comforting place to land until he finds his forever family would mean the world to him. Let’s make sure Nemo’s hard work culminates in a loving home where he truly belongs.
