Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If Nanuck was on Tinder, we'd imagine his profile would go something like this:
Big strong Daddy with lots of body hair seeks human companion for life. I had a human before and they left me in the dumps, so I am expecting a serious commitment this time. I mean, it’s the least I can ask for being insanely loyal and devoted. So, if you’re not looking for forever, just keep swiping. It is 100% toys over treats for this guy. I mean, I love a good treat when you’re teaching me new tricks that make the ladies go gaga, but give me a good toy and its going down for real.
I’m cool with kids, but I take a minute to feel ok around other dogs. I was in a high kill shelter for 2 months, so it really kind of fluffed my fur being around all those anxious doggies. I really am more of a one-man kind of guy. I guess it's cool if your girlfriend or wifey tags along, but I still love you more than them, just saying.
I am a real good catch, and it happens to be my favorite game too. I will be honest, I am a little embarrassed about the fact that I fall asleep sitting up and that I just lost my manhood, and maybe a little about that time I chased my foster dads shadow for 10 minutes straight, but I think there’s still plenty of great qualities to love.
I have been around for 4 years and I have learned a thing or two. I am like, a total pro at sit, down, paw, no and even stay. Although I really don’t feel like it, I will do it for you. I’m learning new stuff like walking on a leash without acting like a total sled dog. Pffft, those guys, am I right? My foster parents are working super hard on this with me and told me they require my new human to be dedicated and patient which I think is cool of them.
I don’t mean to get all mushy, but I really love cuddles and ear scratches and I tend to get attached really quickly and need a committed relationship. I am not looking for a short-term deal, relationships take work and I pull a lot of weight in that department already. You and I could be a dream team. We could move mountains together, or just hike them. I am looking forward to meeting you. Adopt me already!
