About Nelson

I am 5 years old, and people say I am a very handsome boy. At a glance, I might look like your average black lab mix, but if you look closer, you'll notice the copper in my fur and my cute speckled paws. And you might notice something else about me too-I only have one eye. I'm used to it and it doesn't bother me at all, so I hope it doesn't bother you either! I'm a fun and energetic guy looking for an active person or family. I'm up for joining you on adventures and enjoy walks, runs, and car rides. A fenced yard would be ideal for me, but it needs to be a tall fence because I can jump high! Although I am a sweetheart and friendly with people of all ages, I can get excited and forget my size around little ones, so older kids would be best. I am crate trained, potty trained, and very treat motivated. I can be an only dog, or I seem to like females who are smaller than me; if you have another dog, we'd need to take it slow to make sure we're a good match. No cats, please. If you have room in your heart and home for me, please fill out an application. Even if you can offer me a temporary home and be my foster, it would mean the world to me. AHF will give you everything you need, so it won't cost you a penny. I'm a good boy with a lot of love to give. Please fill out a no-obligation application if you'd like to meet.
