About dogs named Nemo

• “Hi, I’m Nemo! I’m a Labradoodle who loves being outside and staying active. Running around with other dogs and playing fetch are basically my favorite things — I’ll chase a ball all day if you let me. I get a little rough when I wrestle, but it’s all in good fun. Sometimes I bark when I get excited chasing my friends, nothing serious. At home, my housemate Maggie, a German Shepherd mix, and I get along great. Looking forward to meeting new friends!“

  — Wataru T.

  — Deleted P.

• “Im a pretty laid back guy but im very passionate about the things I like such as food, food, and food. I also like food. And i like to go for walks and eat treats, as well as do training games because i get treats. I also like playing tug of war and swimming!“

  — Erna K.

  — Sara J.

• “My name is Nemo. I am a super smart pup! I’ve attended training and socialization classes since I was 9 weeks old. Sadly, I can’t go to dog classes anymore... because I am terrified 24/7. We used to play at dog parks and the puppies were all my best friends. Until one day a group of older dogs attacked me and my parents. That day I learned that the world is a scary place; and even if you’re a nice dog, bad things can happen to you. Today I sense danger everywhere! My mom has been working with a private Synergy Behavior trainer to help desensitize my overactive amygdala and conquer my fear of everything. With the help of Synergy, medication, and positive experiences, I’ll have my anxiety under control in no time! My FAVORITE ACTIVITY is herding/chase. My SOCCER BALL is my favorite toy. I RUN and CHASE and BARK at my ball whenever mom and dad kick it away.“

  — Michaela E.
