Meet Nero! Nero is a sweet, gentle senior dog with a soft heart and an even softer personality. He isn't interested in chaos, adventure, or being the center of attention. What Nero wants most is a quiet home, a cozy place to nap, and someone to love. He is the definition of a Velcro dog. Once he bonds with you, he wants nothing more than to be nearby, whether that's curled up on the couch, sunbathing in the yard, or quietly following you from room to room. Nero came to rescue after his owner surrendered him when new puppies were brought into the home. Despite this transition, Nero has continued to show just how loving and resilient he is. Now he is looking for a family that will give him the stability, comfort, and love he deserves for the rest of his life.
Ideal Home
Nero would thrive in a calm, quiet household with adults or families with older, respectful children. He would be happiest with other calm dogs who enjoy peacefully coexisting rather than roughhousing and constant play. He likes children but is not particularly interested in playing with them and would do best in a home without very young children.
Ongoing Health
Nero has adjusted well to foster care and is doing well with both house-training and crate training.
Training & Support
Because he can be nervous in new situations, his foster family continues to help him build confidence and feel secure. One important thing to know about Nero is that when he becomes frightened, his instinct is to run. Because of this, he should always be on a leash or in a secure, fenced area when outdoors. His foster shares: "He can be very nervous and if scared he will run. I recommend if he's outside, he's always on a leash." Nero also prefers quieter environments and may bark initially when meeting new people or encountering unfamiliar situations, but he warms up quickly once he realizes he is safe.
