My Story

Hi there… I’m Nelson Oak, and I have a confession to make—I don’t understand why I’m still waiting. 💛

Everyone who spends time with me says I’m a hidden gem, and honestly, I think they’re right. I’m a sweet, gentle boy who just wants to make people happy. Whether we’re heading out for a walk or just hanging out together, I’m happiest when I’m by your side.

Walks are one of my favorite things! I stroll nicely on leash, pass other dogs without any fuss, and enjoy taking in all the sights and smells. Once I’ve finished my important business, I have a funny little tradition—I stop, flop right onto my back, and politely request belly rubs. They are one of my greatest joys in life! I also love being brushed… especially if you rub my tummy while you’re at it.

If you kneel down to say hello, I’ll probably sit right in front of you and lean in for some snuggles. I adore attention and seem to make friends everywhere I go. The volunteers tell me I’m incredibly sweet, gentle, handsome, and that I have one of the happiest personalities around. They even think I’d do wonderfully with children because I’m so patient and affectionate.

Right now, I’m staying in boarding while I wait for someone to notice me. It’s okay… but what I really dream about is a foster or forever home where I can trade my kennel for a comfy bed, belly rubs whenever I ask for them, and a family to love.

I’ve been waiting so patiently. Maybe you’ve been waiting for a dog just like me.

Could we be each other’s happily ever after? 🐾

My Story

Hi, I’m Gilbert—but my foster mom calls me Gill for short! I’m a young, energetic boy with lots of love to give and a big heart that just wants to be close to my people. If I could be a lap dog all the time, I would—I love to cuddle, snuggle, and be touching you whenever I can.

I’m still in my playful puppy stage, so I enjoy toys (and yes, shredding paper is pretty fun too!). I don’t guard my food or toys—you can take them from me with no problem. Treats are my favorite, and I’ll happily work for them as I keep learning my commands. Right now, I’m practicing sit, recall, and leash manners, and I’m getting better every day.

I’ve done great with brushing and handling, and I don’t mind baths either. I’m also respectful of fences, not much of a barker, and I sleep well on my dog bed—or even the couch if I get the chance! I’m kennel-trained when my foster can’t be home, but mostly I just love being with people and soaking up all the affection.

I get along with visitors and other animals, and while I haven’t met kids yet, I’m a sweet, social boy who loves making new friends. Car rides aren’t my favorite yet since I need a little help getting in, but once I’m in, I’ll just drool a bit and settle in for the ride.

What makes me special? My foster mom says it’s how affectionate and loving I am. I’ve got the energy and curiosity of a puppy but the heart of a cuddler. If you’re looking for a smart, active, and affectionate companion who will always be by your side, I think we’d be the perfect match. 💕
