He's a fighter, a survivor!
Hey friends! My name is Nathaniel and I am an incredibly good boi! I am 2.5 years old, 54 lbs male fixed Coonhound mix. I was rescued from Rosarito, Mx where I was found just stumbling around. My brothers were also rescued by TAP. I received urgent medical attention after being diagnosed with Meningoencephalitis and I am a Distemper survivor. I am curently taking Levetiracetam (~$25.00 for 2 month's supply, price will vary on market value and where purchased) which helps prevent seizures with consistent usage. I also get regular Cytpoint injections to help manage allergies and is on Visbiome High Potency Probiotic to maintain GI health and balance. I have responded beautifully to the TLC and been an ace student with bathroom and leash manners. I get nervous pee reactions, but I am working on building confidence.
My biggest need is patience, as I have been through a lot and need a lot of encouragement and confidence help. But even then, I am so calm and sweet. I get some playful bursts of energy now that I am feeling safe and better! I like other dogs! About cats, I am mostly good, but some scare me! I am great with kiddos too. I do believe that my anxiety can be overcome with a dog friend! My foster mama loves to sing my praises and says that I am 'the sweetest cutest boy in the whole world'. I can be dramatic, especially when it comes to more treats, but I would be perfect for the active person looking to expand their dog pack. Since my health has improved, I have been enjoying activities like walks and being out with my family at bars or errands. Hiking is so much fun and I feel the most free. I am also great at laying around at home and with time, cuddling on the couch. I am a gentle sweet, scared boy with some funky quirks that you will only love.
I would do best with a lovely lady that I can call mom as men will take time to get used to. The ideal forever home is someone with a confident dog that can show me the ropes. I would like to have active weekends with car rides, hikes, or brewery hangs. My pawrent should be someone that enjoys walks so that I can get stimulation throughout the day. I would do best with company because being alone makes me somewhat anxious. If you think we can be pawfectly wonderful together, we better meet up! My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.
