My name is Nate!

I adopted Nate from the humane society when I was in college, about 12.5 years ago. He was just two months old at the time and has always lived with me since as his primary owner. Sometime when he was a few years old, he was mistreated by apartment maintenance personnel that changed his temperament towards new people. Although not aggressive, he is skeptical of new faces in his home environment and takes time to warm up to people. He has never acted aggressively towards our children, but I would never forgive myself if something were to happen. For that reason he has transitioned to being an outdoor dog, but I believe that is very hard on him in his old age and in this weather. I am hoping to find a loving home for him where he can have regular companionship again and comfort. I would love to meet up with you either in your home or at a dog park for you to meet Nate and see if it would be a good fit for you. Thank you!
