My story

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

This handsome little boy is Nelson!

Nelson is our 4 month old, male, Border Terrier, Chihuahua mix puppy that is looking for his forever home. Nelson was born in November along with his sister and brother to Mama Lucy who we rescued with two other dogs that were seen being thrown from a car window and abandoned. Soon after being rescued, we realized that Mama Lucy was pregnant and she gave birth shortly after. Nelson is the confident puppy of the bunch who is like the leader. He is a rough and tumble little guy who who loves to play! He does need another young, small breed, very playful dog in the home or he can be adopted with his sister Nellie (brown/white). We don't adopt out our puppies as "only" dogs. Nelson would love a home with a safe and secure yard to run around in and owner that are not gone long hours during the day would be ideal. Nelson is such a fun and loving little guy and deserves the best home out there!

Nelson is microchipped, vaccinated, and will be neutered at the appropriate age.

We only adopt in the Greater Los Angeles Areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period.

Nelson's adoption fee is $600

More about this rescue

THE FORGOTTEN DOG FOUNDATION rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes shelter, stray, abused and abandoned dogs. Our goal is to place our rescues in foster homes rather than in boarding facilities. After temperament assessment, needed veterinary services, and lots of attention and socialization we carefully screen and place these dogs in loving forever homes.
