unfortunately found himself in need of a fresh start after his previous owner moved and chose not to bring him along. Despite the setback, this resilient boy is keeping his chin up and looking forward to his next big adventure. He has already earned a hilarious reputation among his rescue friends. He has been affectionately dubbed &quot;No Leg Nelson.&quot; But a quick look proves that he does, in fact, have four fully functional legs! They just happen to be wonderfully short, low-to-the-ground, and packed with classic hound charm&mdash;making &quot;Wee Little Leg Nelson&quot; a much more accurate title. Short legs aside, Nelson is an absolute catch for any household. He is already housebroken and gets along wonderfully with both kids and other dogs. He has also been cat-tested and, with a slow and patient introduction, he is expected to do just fine sharing his space with a feline sibling. With his soulful eyes, floppy ears, and sweet demeanor, Nelson is the perfect blend of companion and comedian. He is ready to put his past behind him and settle into a stable, loving environment. Nelson is looking for a loyal family who will give him the commitment he deserves and ensure he is a cherished part of every move they make. Nelson is fully vaccinated, neutered and ready to meet you. Apply today at ehrdogs.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
