"Hi! My name is NELSON, and I'm a three-year-old Terrier/ Shepherd mix who wants to explore the world (or at least the neighborhood) with you. I have a friendly and curious nature, plus a fairly high energy level, so I'd be a great hiking companion. And if you have a big yard, I bet I can keep it clear of pesky varmints! You see, I'm a smart dog who'll need mental and physical stimulation. I already know some commands, and the shelter staff is fairly certain that I've already been house trained. I might need a quick refresher course when I get to my new home. I get along well with some other dogs, and I'd be a fun family pet in a home with older kids. I hope you'll come visit me at the El Cajon Animal Shelter. I'm a handsome fellow whose good looks can be best appreciated up close. I'd love to find a new home just as soon as possible, so I hope you'll head on over to the shelter very soon. Love, Nelson" Kennel #28
