Nathan

My story

Nathan is a handsome, 2year-old boy with a heart full of love and a spirit just waiting to shine. Weighing in at 50 pounds, this sweet soul was once a forgotten stray, lost in the overcrowded shelter system. Shy and uncertain, he nearly slipped through the cracks—but now, in the warmth of a loving foster home, he's blossoming into the incredible dog he was always meant to be. Nathan is gentle, affectionate, and playful, with an eagerness to connect once he feels safe. He’s discovering the joy of belly rubs, the excitement of zooming around the yard, and the simple comfort of curling up next to someone who cares. He adores other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident furry friend to show him the way. He may not have had much training in his past life, but he’s a quick learner and so eager to please. His foster family has been helping him build confidence, practice his leash skills, and master basic commands. With a little patience and a lot of love, this boy will be the most devoted companion you could ever dream of. Nathan is the perfect mix of adventure and cuddle-time. He’s ready to be your hiking buddy, your couch companion, and your reason to smile every single day. His heart is wide open—he’s just waiting for someone to fill it with love. Are you ready to give Nathan the happy ending he deserves? Come meet him and let him steal your heart. To begin the adoption process, please submit an application using the link below.
