You might not be able to say “trick or treat!” before Nash treats you to a bunch of doggie hugs and kisses! Nash is a lovable 2-year-old pit bull who’s a nice fellow. He sits patiently for his turn at walks and playtime, and when he’s out in the yard or on leash, he’s non-reactive to other dogs. You may gnash your teeth, though, when you find out his shelter origin story: underweight, with bad skin and cuts on his body. But that was in March, and you oughta see him now! That costume covers up a unique pattern of orange fur — looks like a 20th century modern-art painting! In fact, one of the volunteers painted his portrait, which hangs on his kennel. Come see it — you can take home the model! Long Beach Animal Care Services is over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt or foster Nash or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov.
