Nestle is Looking For:   His forever home! This sweetie is an older puppy and he’s eager to get her own humans. Long sniffy walks, romps in parks, all the adventures they can dream up – yes, please! Making pup pals along the way is on his wish list as well, along with quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. And at the end of a fun day together – cuddles. But most of all he wants to know where he belongs, to be safe and loved. In exchange, he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Nestle the companion you have been seeking?What My Foster Says About Me:  If you’re looking for the perfect mix of puppy cuteness, respectfully southern gentleman and snuggle buddy—Nestle is the boy for you! Sweet Nestle has all the fun and sweetness of a puppy, but is much calmer and doesn’t require all the sleepless night/work of a baby! Nestle does very well in his kennel (he’ll even put himself to bed in it at night when he’s ready!), eats all his food, does really well walking on his leash and LOVES his squeaky toys. Being the southern gentleman that he is, Nestle is very gentle when playing with people and other pups (he loves giving kisses while he plays) and has been very respectful of my home. Despite spending the first months of his life in a warmer climate, Nestle absolutely LOVES the snow. He would romp outside in the snow all day if I let him. He is so easy to work with and care for—he even let me put a coat on him with no fuss! The sweet boy has made zero messes and hasn’t touched a thing not meant for him (shoes, furniture, etc.). Nestle knows sit and is working on other tricks like “down” and “paw”—this boy is very smart and food motivated so he’s picking up on cues quickly! I truly can’t say enough good things about this sweet boy. He is also the best snuggler I’ve ever met—his favorite spot is cuddled up next to you on the couch with his head in your lap as he lovingly looks up at you. His entire body shakes when he wags his tail (which is at every person and every dog he sees)—he is truly such a loving and happy boy. His perfect day would be a romp outside, followed by some treats, a nap snuggled right next to you and a bone to chew on while he watches Scooby Doo! Nestle is waiting to make you smile every day, what do you say?
