*Nano is one of our "Underdogz" which means she has gone unnoticed for far too long. Our underdogz often need a little more time investment, patience and understanding. They also come with support. Training sessions in person or via Zoom are available as well for out of town adopters. These are usually the dogs that have been through the most and bond the hardest with their person, the person that does not give up on them. Nano is a special kiddo who needs his special person who will understand his fears and work with them to help him feel balanced and safe.* Nano is a one-and-a-half-year-old Shepherd mix with the cutest smile and a personality that keeps everyone laughing. This handsome boy is currently in a professional training facility where he’s learning how to be the very best version of himself. He has already mastered his basic commands and is now continuing to work on social interactions and confidence-building. Nano is incredibly smart, affectionate, and deeply loyal. More than anything, he wants a person to bond with and call his own. He would likely love having a playful canine companion to help him burn off some of that young dog energy. Nano is dog selective, but he has done well with slow, thoughtful introductions and would likely benefit from learning from a calm, confident dog that can help continue to show him the ropes. He has shown that he can coexist successfully with other dogs when given proper structure, leadership, and time to build trust. No cats for this handsome boy. Nano also really loves his belongings and personal space, but he’s actively working on sharing and making great progress. He is currently located in Santa Clarita, but transport can absolutely be arranged for the right adopter anywhere. Nano is looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take patience, structure, and trust — and in return, he’ll give you his whole heart.
