About Nate

Nate is a lovable 3-year-old Pug weighing in at 15 lbs. Housebroken and crate trained, he’s ready to bring joy to your home. Just a heads up: during that first week, a belly band might be necessary as he marks his territory when entering new spaces. Nate is a friendly guy who adores kids and gets along well with dogs, but he prefers a maximum of two canine companions—no roughhousing, please! While he warms up to people slowly, expect a loyal companion once he trusts you. He enjoys mild activity and particularly loves cuddling under blankets on the couch. Nate isn’t prone to separation anxiety, but being alone for long periods isn’t ideal for him. If you think you can provide Nate with a loving home, he’s waiting for you. Ready to make a connection?
