Hello everyone!  My name is Nemo!  I am a 6 year old Yorkie / Dachshund mix, weighing in at 17 lbs.  I have had a rough start to my life but I am learning to trust and enjoy life more, every single day.

I am crate trained, and potty trained.  I like to protect my home and alert my family when there are guests at the doors. 

I get along with other dogs and cats.  I don't interact much with animals but I am still learning how.  I do share my toys very well, but any chance I get I am stealing them back.

I am OBSESSED with car rides and walks.  I would make a great companion for road trips.  My foster mom says I do really well off leash, but its best for me to stay on leash for safety.

If there is a downfall to me, it's that I love to snuggle.  I will sleep in my crate but if I had a choice, it would be in a comfy bed with my owner.

Speaking of owners, I REALLY prefer women and can be very male selective so I need a female only household.

I am really looking forward to finding my fur-ever home.  Please fill out an application to meet me today!
