Nelson is fostered in Boynton Beach Fl, on the east coast- Nelson is an adorable, lovable 12 pound nugget of a dog. He is a chihuahua mix about 2years old, with a shiny seal-like black coat with brown highlights, a big white star on his chest and white tips on his toes. He has luminous dark brown eyes. Nelson was dumped in the overnight box at Palm Beach County Animal Control, alone and terrified. In the morning when staff opened the box he jumped out and began running through the parking lot. Staff cornered him and he nipped once out of fear, without breaking skin. Terrified by the noise and strangeness, and given no enrichment or play time, Nelson was depressed, refused to eat, and was scheduled for euthanasia. Luckily, a rescue stepped up. Nelson is not dangerous- he si the wiggliest, friendliest, tail wagging most loving dog I've ever met. He play bows anddoes "chase" with our twolittle dogs. He snuggles, he cuddles and gives endless kisses. He can chill while you relax. He loves to go on long walks and walks beautifullywith a harness, solo orwith another dog. Heis 100% housebroken - I slept until 11:30 with him nestled bymy feet and he did not wake me or make amess. He eatswell and couldgain another pound or two. Nelson is as sweet as sugar and would be a good fit for any family except I would not pair him with veryyoung children due to his size. He gets along well with other dogs and is not cat tested. This beautiful little "love bug deserves a loving forever home where he will be cherished, not abandoned- if you are interested In adopting a cute little guy please fill out the application online. His adoption fee is $180.

More about this rescue
Common and understandable questions we encounter are “Where do the donations go?” and “Why are the puppies more expensive?”
Our philosophy at Find a Home, Give a Home is “all for one, and one for all”. This is why we list puppies at a higher adoption fee than our shelter babies. Puppies usually have less initial veterinary costs and are typically adopted at a quicker pace than adult dogs. The fees we receive for our puppies OFFSET the cost for all the precious lives we save that haven’t been as fortunate.
While cute little puppies (breeder surrender/confiscation) are often the most desirable and sought after, our true purpose is the humanitarian effort of finding homes for shelter dogs. Rescue dogs from shelters have not received even the basic veterinary care ever or regularly and are often abandoned and found in terrible physical condition, and sometimes are injured and need emergency and specialty veterinary treatment and care. We do everything we can to help these dogs to regain their health both physically and mentally. As these precious babies heal in foster homes, unfortunately, the veterinary costs do add up. Once they are healed, they sometimes have “special needs” which require temporary or permanent medications. All of this can delay finding the right forever home for them.
