About Nelson

Nelson is an eight-year-old neutered male Yorkshire Terrier who weighs 7.5 pounds. He came to us when his previous owner could no longer provide for his needs. Nelson is a cheerful little guy, full of love and enjoys being held. He has experience living with other dogs and children, and he knows how to walk on a leash. In his foster home, he is making great strides with potty training and loves to stay close to his human. This little guy would do best in a home with another dog for companionship or with someone who works from home. Help us find Nelson the ideal home where he can enjoy his golden years to the fullest.
