Nelson is a friendly, social dog with a relaxed and playful personality. He greeted the handler and other dogs with a loose, wiggly body and was easy to leash and remove from the kennel. In the play yard, Nelson integrated well with other dogs, engaging in play bows, chase, and wrestling with a loose, happy demeanor. He occasionally took breaks to solicit petting, displaying a balanced push-pull play style. During his handling assessment, Nelson remained calm and relaxed, allowing the handler to pet him and examine his ears, mouth, paws, and body without any issues. He is comfortable around both people and other dogs, making him a great fit for a home with a medium energy level and large dog companions. Nelson is ready for public adoption and would thrive in an active, social environment.
