Nero ("black" in Italian) is a sweet & happy-go-lucky boy with a perpetual smile. Nero was a 'give away' puppy outside of a Walmart in rural VA & found himself back at that poor counties kill shelter when he was picked up running loose & his family never came to reclaim him. He is a brother to Remy, who coincidentally was turned in to the shelter by another family a couple weeks after this boy was found. Nero is a big puppy & does need some continued training, but is smart like his brother & will excel with just a little time investment. Nero is working on his housebreaking (but is not a marker) & currently sometimes jumps up on people, unlike his brother, but he doesn't seem to have quite as much energy as his brother & is a bit easier to handle due to his smaller size- he is currently 44 lbs at ~9 months, so we expect him to be 50-60 lbs full grown (10 lbs less then his brother). Nero loves other dogs & adores play. Nero is not mouthy at all with his humans. Nero is very affectionate- he loves to be close to his humans, loves hugs & pets & will give kisses in return. Come meet this sweet, happy, loving boy. One look in his smiling face & twinkling eyes & you are sure to fall in love.
