Story
How this pet arrived: Nacho was brought in by their previous owner on July 13th, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Nacho-a sweet little guy who's still figuring out that the world isn't as scary as it seems. He can be a bit unsure around new people and places, but with some time, space, and understanding, he'll start to come out of his shell. The golden rule? Let Nacho make the first move. He's not one for grand entrances-more of a "peek around the corner and quietly check things out" kind of vibe. He might need a refresher on some puppy basics (yes, potty training included), but he's a quick learner once he feels safe. Here's the twist-once Nacho feels comfy? Total lap dog. He'll snuggle up close like it's what he was born to do, bringing all the cozy vibes you didn't know you needed. If there are kids in the home, they'll need to be part of the meet-and-greet so Nacho can get to know everyone. Interested in meeting Nacho? Come see us in Oceanside-and don't forget to bring a leash and collar!Shy/Fearful Dog: please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 22.4 Age: 0yrs 7mths 0wks
