Nelson’s story began in a ditch on the east side of Bucerías—no mom in sight, just six chubby little pups left behind like forgotten luggage. He and his siblings were sick with coronavirus, (his siblings names are: Nugget, Nora, Natalia & Nellie and Noel but sadly Noel passed away), but their round bellies and bright eyes told a different story: they were fighters. Survivors. And Nelson? He’s been smiling ever since. Born around August 2024, Nelson has now spent wa y to long at the shelter, patiently waiting for someone to see the treasure he is. He’s a sleek black beauty with a happy soul, a wagging tail, and a love for life that’s contagious. He adores being petted, loves to run, and plays sweetly with his doggy friends. His energy is just right—not too much, not too little—and his heart is 100% pure. Nelson has never lived in a home, so he’ll need a little help learning the ropes. But with his gentle nature and eagerness to please, he’s more than ready to trade his kennel for a couch and his dirt yard for a backyard (or a park, or a beach, or your lap).
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s already overcome the odds and still believes in love, Nelson is ready to believe in you.
