Nemo

NEMO is a friendly, affectionate and well-mannered Maremma cross male, just two years old.

This lovely boy has the classic Maremma temperament - loyal, loving and sweet-natured, yet protective of his family without being aggressive.

Nemo is child-friendly but a tad noise sensitive, so he'd be better suited to a quieter household, which probably precludes homes with multiple little children.

He is also dog-friendly, although he's not too keen on little dogs that bark in his face. He's untested with cats.

Nemo's only vice is that he is an adept escape artist. He can climb, jump and dig, so secure fencing is absolutely essential. Of course, he'd be less likely to want to seek adventure on the other side of the fence if his humans are home most of the time.

He is accustomed to living inside a home and his manners are very good.

He's a bit thin at present, but with adequate nourishment and lots of loving care, we know he will be transformed into a gorgeous looking chap.

Nemo's adoption fee is $550 and he is desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
