Looking for a partner in crime (and cuddles)? Meet Nelson!

You know that famous internet dog PHTEVEN? Yeah, well, I’m basically his spiritual twin. When my lip gets stuck on my teeth, it’s my signature goofy look—and trust me, it’s impossible not to laugh. (Slide 1 for evidence. You’re welcome.)

Anyway, I’m Nelson. Born in spring 2022, medium-sized, pointer-mixed, and packing enough charm to win over even the grumpiest neighbor.

I’m still a little clumsy (I swear my legs have a mind of their own), but what I lack in coordination, I make up for in pure heart.

My hobbies include:

 • Dramatically shaking my bedding like I just slayed a dragon.

 • Playing fetch like it’s a competitive sport.

 • Being unreasonably excited about absolutely everything.

I live for the great outdoors—hiking trails, muddy puddles, all of it. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who checks back to make sure you’re not lost (because someone has to be the responsible one), I’m your guy.

Leash manners? Improving. Sticks? Still my kryptonite.

I’m friendly with other dogs, though I sometimes pretend I’m the boss. (Spoiler: I’m all bark, no bite.) A confident human who’s ready to lead will bring out my best—and once I trust you, you’ll have a friend for life.

Bottom line: if you’re after a dog who’s 50% athlete, 50% comedian, and 100% loyal heart, let’s make it official.

Rescue life was fine, but I’m ready for the real good stuff: hikes, laughs, naps, and unconditional love.
