Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Nero, an adult dog with an energy that`s contagious and slightly exhausting. His playful spirit is a joy to behold, as he loves nothing more than a game of fetch or a romp with his furry friends. Nero is a social butterfly, making friends with dogs and cats alike. His curiosity is endearing, and he`s always ready for a new adventure. He can`t help but chase after every car, human, animal, and bike. In spite of his energetic nature, Nero also loves a good cuddle. He`s a 27-pound lap dog who never wants to be alone. He`s the perfect blend of excitable and affectionate. He`s house trained and knows the no, down, and off commands. He likes car rides, agility, running, toys, walks, water and chase (his favorite!). He loves to jump and climb and play tug with everything he can put into his mouth. Nero`s friendly demeanor makes him a wonderful companion. He`s a little noisy and jumpy, but that`s just his way of expressing his love and need for your attention. If you`re looking for a pet who will bring joy, laughter, and love into your life, Nero is the dog for you. Plus he`ll keep you.moving and active. His adoption will not only change his life but will also bring joy, love, and a little bit of adventure into yours. (tw 10/1/2024)
