Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Nelson. We named him after Mandela because when I first saw him interact with his litter mates I thought he was a "gentle leader", being bigger than everyone but still so loving. We adopted him and his sister at approximately 10 weeks old, after they had been abandoned by their mother at a few days old. Because they have been around humans so much, they are SUPER friendly with anyone who walks in, especially Nelson. He is very inquisitive and wants to know what's going on, likes to cuddle, and really loves to play. He almost never sits on a lap, but likes to lie next to you whenever you're seated. He really likes his belly rubbed, and will flick his tail at you until you get the right spot. I pick him up all the time, hold him like a baby, kiss his face, dance with him, squeeze him gently, etc and he has NEVER retaliated meanly. He has never had a bathroom accident, had never broken/destroyed anything, lets you clip his nails willingly. We love him. He's an awesome goofball.
