He is healthy, neutered, and current on all his vaccines. While he would be thrilled to be your one-and-only, he also does well with other female dogs.

His Ideal Match:
Nelson needs a family that is experienced with “dog body language” and can provide him with a low-stress environment. He is a loving boy, but he thrives when his personal space is respected and his surroundings are peaceful. In a quiet home without the sudden movements of small children, Nelson’s best side really shines.

Medical:  healthy. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped.
