This is Nelson. He was found as a stray in the suburbs of Chicago and rescued from a high kill shelter. He is about 2-3 years old and weighs approximately 14-15 lbs. He is very cute, affectionate, athletic, and playful. He gets along with other dogs. He likes to channel his energy by chewing on a bone. He is housetrained but not perfectly. He can slip out of doors quickly so he needs attentive owners and a fenced yard. He is very intelligent and can benefit from some training. He knows his name and comes when called indoors but not when he is outside. He loves to give kisses, sit on the couch and snuggle or receive a good belly scratch. We have not seen Nelson around children so children in the home need to be at least 10.
Nelson is being fostered in IL
