Hi, I'm Nelson - Reduced Fee!!

I'm a 15 year old neutered male white with tan, yellow or fawn Shih Tzu.

Age: Approximately 10 years

Weight: 8 lbs

My Story: I'm a sweet senior Shih Tzu who came to the HSJC from a shelter in Milwaukee. I lost my home through no fault of my own and am looking for an adopter who will really love and care about me. I'm an affectionate and mellow gentleman but due to my age and small size, I am approved for a quieter home with adults only. I'll be happiest if I get lots of attention and petting and I'll love cuddling with my person. If you can commit to putting the "gold" in my "golden years," I'd love to be your little darling!    

Thanks to a generous sponsor my adoption fee is just $135.00!

The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.

My adoption fee is $135.00.
I have been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and I've received routine treatment for internal and external parasites. I have tested negative for heartworm.

Adopt Me!

If you are interested in adopting me, the first step is to submit an adoption application. You can download an application from the links below, attach the completed application to an email, and send it to the Humane Society of Jefferson County at shelter@hsjc-wis.com. Once the application is received, the approval process will take approximately 1-3 business days and you will be contacted as soon as it is completed.
