Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Nash
Life in Mexico was not easy for him. He was left in the care of a “dog sitter” with his 2 companions and were literally left to starve. A rescue center took the 3 of them in 2 years ago and although he had food and shelter, his human contact was very minimal.
When Denise first met Nash, she knew he was special and unique. He would go off leash while we walked 40+ dogs each day and was always close by, always enjoying the free space and open fields with his friends at the shelter.
Nash just wants to be with his humans. He has been waiting a long time for this. Whether you are in the kitchen, watching TV, getting ready for the day, or leaving the house, he knows and is right there ready to do whatever the day entails.
I believe he is so happy now and this is why he is so loyal.
Nash walks perfectly on leash and heels right at your side.
He goes slowly downstairs; waiting for you each step of the way.
He loves playing with his throw toys in the backyard and this diffuses his energy quickly instead of an evening walk. He then happily comes back in the house and settles next to you, on his side of the couch.
He is great off leash and even tends to heel when he’s free.
He especially enjoys when our volunteer picks him up and takes him to the beach and dog park. He gets home happy and tired.
We are working on crate time and he will now settle into the crate for 1.5 hours after he has exercised. We are slowly increasing this time but really his favourite spot is next to his human.
Nash requires his owner to be his leader. He listens very well which makes him more confident in his daily life. He knows the daily routine now. He used to paw for attention, jump up and slept in his human’s bed for his first few weeks in Canada. Now there is no more pawing for attention, no more jumping up and he sleeps on the floor at the foot of the bed.
He’s a quick learner and could be trained at a high level due to his character and breed. Nash is very alert and will see things well before his humans will. He recently alerted us to a skunk that was sitting in the grass mid morning. We quickly turned around and avoided the encounter. He was calm and cool and did not pursue but his body language told us something was up.
He resides in his foster home with a small rat terrier and they are good friends.
He likes meeting new people and has a calm demeanor about him upon doing so. He will alert us of strangers near our fence line but quickly quiets when directed.
We believe Nash might be part Belgian Malinois/Shepherd. With rescue dogs it’s hard to know exactly. He’s approximately 4 years old. He is neutered and all vaccines are up to date; including rabies.
If you are looking for a loyal, loving companion and protector that just wants to be with you then let’s meet up for a walk and talk.
