Nudge was found as a stray but in general good health during the summer of 2025. At the noble age of nine, Nudge never expressed any stress or aggression at his change of fortune and was quite the gentlemen throughout his evaluations, interactions and [fairly short] shelter time. 

Armed with a $500 senior credit to Pender Vet (courtesy of Friends), Nudge’s new family brought him home for his next chapter. “We are so happy with the recommendation from the Shelter regarding a dog that would fit into our family. He was the greatest gift to us and I can never thank the Friends of the Fairfax [County] Shelter…THANK YOU!”
