My story

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

Meet Nelson, a tender-hearted 2-yo boy who's still trying to understand the world. . What Nelson truly needs is a soft place to land-a patient, supportive home that can help him build confidence and learn that the world means no harm.

Despite his worries, Nelson warms up quickly to new people and stays calm once he feels safe. His sweetest wish is simply to sit right next to you, soaking in comfort and reassurance. If you're looking for a gentle soul to nurture and watch blossom, Nelson is ready to start that journey by your side.

During doggie playgroups, we found him to be a lovable lunk. He was friendly, fun, and interactive in one on one play with a female. Nelson was very even tempered and we are excited to see his progress.

If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Nelson, 265316".

He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
