Nelson is a smooshy faced fellow who loves to explore and have fun. He is an active fellow who requires a family that plans to continue his training, and socialization. His mother is Reba, is an American Shepherd (aka mini-Aussie mix), and based on some of the physical attributes of this litter his father was likely a Shar Pei mix. Nelson would love another canine sibling in his forever home, and he has excellent kitty manners too. All human children must be 8 years of age, or older. He requires a fenced in yard (one that attaches to the home and will keep him safely contained), no invisible fencing please. We do not consider dog parks to be fenced in yards. Since he is such a young pup, he requires a home where his humans are not gone for long hours.
Nelson has begun his obedience and leash lessons. He is doing well on his house training, crate training, and he rides well in a car too. He would love a family that takes him to a basic obedience training classpuppy socialization lessons, and intends to include him in all of their fun. Nelson will be neutered and micro-chipped prior to adoption. He is up to date on all vaccines and preventative medications and will be ready to go to his forever home in late May.
