A few years ago, a stray dog, Anna, had given birth to her babies in a service station on the highway. Eight puppies in total, one sweeter than the other.
The whole family came to the shelter, and Anna barely managed to take care of her babies for a while in a safe place, without having to look for food, without stress, without insecurity.
Unfortunately all the puppies were already sick, and no matter how hard we tried to help them, one by one they started dying of parvo. Eventually, every single one died except him.
For those who don't know, parvo is incredibly painful and cruel, and it's basically like a death sentence for puppies, which is why the few that are strong enough to overcome it and survive are always special.
They are essentially animals that won a very unequal battle, and that seemed incredibly brave against a very powerful enemy.
Nolan is one of those dogs.
So he was born on the street, spent his infancy in the clinic trying to survive, and then came to the shelter and never left.
He has missed a lot of socializing, he doesn't even imagine how huge and how rich the world outside the shelter is. Rich in experiences, in smells, in emotions that awakens in you.
However, he is a dog that proved to be very strong not only physically, but also has tremendous soul power within him.
He's not the dog that will run to meet you as soon as it sees you, but he won't hide either. He is not extremely fearflu, but he is hesitant. At least with people he doesn't know.
He loves to go for a walk, and when he sees the leash he jumps with joy and acts like a puppy.
If you take him home, it will take him a while to open up, but he will be functional enough from the beginning so that you can have a basic communication with him. And on this first communication you will build your relationship with him.
He is very cuddly and loving, gets along perfectly with other dogs, is vaccinated, neutered and healthy.
