Nelson is a sweet 1 year old boy that loves people, treats and his toys. Nelson loves a good game of fetch and will always give up his toy by your feet and wait patiently for you to throw it again for him. Nelson is incredibly driven by both food and toys, making him very susceptible to training. He knows a lot of basic commands and is doing very well learning loose lead walking.

When Nelson was a younger pup, he lived in a lovely foster home where he thrived and learnt lots about what being in a loving home felt like. But since then, he has had to come back to the kennels and he is really struggling being away from people for such a length of time. Due to the stress of being back in kennels, and his love for human contact, he can get very excitable and start jumping up and mouthing at his handler. With this, he is working on his manners and keeping a calmer manner when around people at the centre.

Nelson along with his littermates came in to kennels after a bad start to life. They came into RSPCA care at an age where we had missed the vital socialising stage of a young pup. Due to this, Nelson can be quite a nervous boy at times when he is presented with new things or environments. Nelson is looking for a home with someone who will be by his side encouraging and guiding him if he were to be unsure of something.

Due to his love of people and his uncertainty with new things, Nelson is looking for a home where he will have human company with him most of the time. He is also looking for a calm home where children are 16+.

Nelson gets along with other dogs, and wants to play with them, but he can be a bit much at times as he can be quite non-stop. Nelson is best suited to a home where he is the only animal so that he has time to decompress and relax. This doesn’t mean that he can’t have doggy friends to walk with though!
