Safe Haven of Iowa County

Meet Nelson, a handsome and enthusiastic young boy who's ready to find his forever family! This lovely boy was found as a local stray near North English and, sadly, was never reclaimed. Estimated to be around 1.5 years old, Nelson is possibly a Labrador Retriever mix—we suspect he may have a touch of Red Heeler based on his unique, beautiful markings and the charming speckled spots on his legs.

Nelson is the definition of an active boy; he is absolutely ready to "go, go, go!" and would thrive with an owner who enjoys an energetic lifestyle, be it jogging or long hikes. What truly sets him apart is his wonderful disposition toward people: he is oh so friendly and incredibly affectionate, thriving on human interaction and attention, and he has yet to meet a stranger!

Nelson has met several canine friends while in our care (including his current "bestie" Daisy!) Daisy and Nelson get along very well with matched energy and alike playstyles. Nelson enjoys going for walks with his canine friends (after proper introductions take place), having supervised playtime in our large fenced-in yards, but of course always enjoys the company of humans too! 

If you're interested in meeting Nelson, please complete an adoption application as the first step of the meet & greet process. This application can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com.
