Nelson

My story

Nelson arrived at NCCR on 3/29/25, transferred from an overcrowded shelter that ran out of room. He is an approximately 5-6 year-old neutered male mixed breed. His mix is guessed to include a small Terrier type, but Nelson likely contains at least a few different breeds in his heritage. He is full-grown at just 21 lbs. Nelson is reportedly good with most other dogs, and friendly with people. If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an  Adoption Application found on the website at caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you.   If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day. We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in. *PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them. NYS Registration #RR028

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nelson, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
