Dumped at shelter for barking, while chained up!

Nelson, the most handsome of dogs, was chained outside his whole life. And one day his owner got sick of his barking (while the owner was cozy and comfortable inside his house) and dumped him at a rural shelter in VA where his chances aren't great. Luckily we saw his plea to find a new home and with your support we can bring him here and get him immediately into a loving foster home. 

Nelson is a 4-year-old retriever/beagle mix and about 45 lbs of pure smiley love. He is described as being incredibly sweet, good with dogs and all the people he meets. :) With your support we can help Nelson find his new forever home!
