About this Dog
Nathan is almost 3 (presumed bday is Oct 16), originally from Southern California. He loves the beach, exploring, chasing balls (but rarely returning them), tug-of-war, and snuggling. He is extremely attuned to people’s moods/afflictions, and always eager to lick your face incessantly. He is an ideal solo companion and likely would not integrate well into a home with other dogs or is hectic/chaotic. He is extremely emotionally needy and gets quite anxious when left alone—which often leads to chewing. But he is crate trained and generally quite content to hang out in his crate when needed; just not for extended periods. He is up for any adventure and loves strapping into his harness for a walk. His reactions to children are unpredictable, but he is utterly loyal to his human. He would make a warm and loving addition to any individual or small household who can provide the entertainment and emotional support that he craves. He would likely make a great service dog, but is not currently trained to that level. He is very smart and generally obedient, but also quite willful and stubborn at times.

Adopt Nathan and Receive Nathan's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Nathan's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Nathan receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Nathan, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Nathan's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Nathan was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Nathan’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Nathan’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Nathan’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
