My story

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

Oh hey there! My name is Nate, or as my closest friends like to call me, Nate Dogg or Nathan :)

I'm a BIG boy with beautiful amber eyes that seem to captivate anyone who has the pleasure of being in my inner circle. Although I'm young, handsome, and smart as a whip, I'm happiest when snuggling up on a big ol' couch and getting pets from my human companions. When I'm not resting from all the hard work of eating snacks, walking in the forest, and getting belly rubs, I like to show off my zoomies in the yard carrying around my favourite stuffy.

The home I'm looking for is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, as city-life is not really my thing. Also, I'd like to be your one and only animal so I can be fully (and rightfully) spoiled. I have made some doggy friends in shelter, but I'm quite picky on those I associate with. Walking past other dogs is my weakness, so I need a strong and experienced paw-rent who can help me navigate these interactions and teach me that barking and lunging at others is not the best way to greet other dogs. I learn best through positive reinforcement training and would love to continue this training into my new home! I can't wait!

Some other great things about me are that I take treats SUPER gently, I know 'sit' and 'shake a paw' no problem, and puzzle toys make me extra excited. I'm a smart boy so I need to have my brain stimulated too!

Long and short, if you are looking for a single animal companion to keep you warm at night, I am the guy for you! I am ready and more than willing to be your sidekick on the couch and to curl up beside you. Bonus points if you have a fireplace too...

The first step to take me home and meet me is to fill out the application below!
