Nash is an active terrier mix who loves to play with his Jolly Ball and his 'peeps'

Cheryl Morey, South Bend Tribune

Nash loves to play – especially with his red jolly ball! This handsome 2-year-old terrier mix was adopted as a puppy from Heartland and had a great home during this time. Nash loved his family. Unfortunately, as the children grew, so did their circle of friends coming and going at the house. Nash, being very protective of his family, could be intimidating. The family then made the difficult decision of returning Nash to Heartland, so he could be placed in a better suited home situation.

Nash would do best in a home where lots of company is not constantly coming and going. It might be a home with adults only or with an experienced dog family that would have the patience and time to work with him. Nash is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Give Heartland a call to set up your appointment to meet this active and fun dog with much love to give, oh, and bring a ball to toss.
