Nelson Belgian Shepherd / Malinois Mix Scottsdale, AZ

Hello, my name is Nelson and I am a very good boy! If you're looking for an athletic, brave, curious, and protective furry friend, look no further! I am a very friendly, playful, and smart baby with an affectionate side to match. I love to play and run around all day but also know when it's time to settle down and have a cuddle. I am good with other dogs and would love to find a home with a furry friend to play with.

I have been in training and already have my Bachelors degree which means I know Sit, Dow, Place, and Come. I will also ring the bell when I need to go potty, I'm crate trained, mostly housebroken, and... If you tell me to go potty, I will! How's that for smart!

Not only do you get me and my amazing personality, but there's a whole bunch of extras included with my adoption as well. I'll let one of the humans explain that to you though! If you want to meet me, just send a message and so we can be friends!!
