Story
Nemo isn’t just a dog—he’s family. A Marvel-level fighter with a heart of gold. He came into our lives during a storm and helped pull us out. He’s battled seizures (once 11 in one night), but now they’re shorter, and he wags his tail through them like the brave boy he is. He’s got about $3K in medical history, but all we ever say is: “We love him 3000.” ❤️ My 16-year-old daughter is his person, but life got too heavy. We're hoping for a foster—maybe 2–3 years—where he can run, be loved, and keep healing. He knows sit, down, stay, and has great recall. Raised by a dog trainer in a house full of dogs, Disney magic ✨, and mischief. He’s got a piece of all our hearts, and while it hurts to let go, we’re trusting the universe (and maybe a little magic mushroom luck 🍄) to bring him the right person. If you speak fluent nerd, believe in second chances, and love big—he might just be your next sidekick. 🐦‍🔥🫶🏼🐠
