This is Nemo, a poodle mix. We adopted him from a Chicago shelter when he was 6. Here he is with his cow recently. This is his story.

This was a picture of Nemo when we first adopted him. He was six-years-old and was happy as could be to find a new home.

Nemo had an awesome day at the beach playing in the water and catching his ball. He did not want to leave at all when it was time to go.

Nem won 1st place in this costume contest (there were 300 dogs participating).

Nemo at one of his favorite parks in Chicago doing one of his favorite things - catching stuff in his mouth.
