Nelson German Shepherd Dog Newport, NC

Nelson is a charming and handsome 5 year old guy who is brimming with love and affection. He may be a little shy at first, but give him some time and he will be your best friend. He is settling into shelter life and hopes his stay will be short.. Nelson is a gentle soul who is full of happiness and is very affectionate. He came in as a stray, but his sweet nature and friendliness make it clear that he was once part of a loving family. Nelson is a loyal companion and would make a great addition to almost any home. He loves going for walks and enjoying the outdoors. He is a healthy guy who is up to date on his shots. If you think you could give this sweet guy the loving home he deserves, come and meet him today! I hope this helps with Nelson's adoption!
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
