Nelson + 5

Nelson + 5 is an adoptable male Staffordshire Bull Terrier looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. He is still very young and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Nelson + 5 may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
