Story
Meet Nelson, or as his foster family refers to him, "Lord Nelson". Why?, you may ask. Because he is the perfect mature, well bred gentleman. Nelson longs to belong to his own "people". He is one of those Brits who loves everyone he meets - human and canine (we don't know about cats). But when he decides you're "his", it's a very close and special bond. He was a stray, so his true age is uncertain, but the shelter and vet estimated 8 years old. He weighs in at about 35 pounds and is a beautifully put together orange/white Brittany. He is well past that crazy puppy stage and yet still welcomes any opportunity to play. He is also extremely smart and food motivated so training is a breeze. He learns very quickly and desperately wants to please. He bonds quickly with whomever he deems his master and will be a fantastic companion. He has been sleeping in a crate, but would be just as happy sleeping in your bed. He is showing that he is crate trained and mostly housebroken. He has a nosy habit of needing to examine everything on the kitchen counter, so he'll need a little continuous work on that. Nelson has a real spirit of adventure. He loves going on errands in the car. He is very curious and wants to explore everything, so a physical fence is necessary. Nelson's perfect family would be experienced dog owners with dedication and patience to learn his signals and habits. He would reward such an owner with lifelong devotion. He prefers to be close to his human - a velcro dog. He wants that bond. Other dogs in the household would be fine, but he would also thrive as an "only child". Nelson is a dream dog with many years of love to give his new family. He is neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. He is currently located in West Virginia and available to be transported up to 1400 miles, with the adopter driving the last 100 or so miles. His adoption fee is $350. If interested in adopting Nelson, please submit an adoption application at www.nbran.org and mention his name. For any further questions, email jessica@thesouthernway.comJuly 26, 2024, 4:25 pm
