Nate Is Warren's Pet Of The Week

WARREN, NJ — Meet Nate! He has been chosen as Warren Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Nate is 8.5 years old. Although we have only had Nate for 13 months, he feels like he has been with us 'furever.' Nate is 50 percent Chihuahua, 25 percent Cairn Terrier and the rest super mutt (probably dachshund). As we got to know Nate, he definitely shows more of his chi side. He is a loving and great new addition to our family. In our house, he goes by a lot of names. Nater Potater, Natie, Nato Potato, Sof Patatis (swedish), tapuah adamah (hebrew for potatoe).

Natie came to us through social media Facebook. His family loved him dearly but it was time for Natie to find a new family. The decision for them was not an easy one and they were going to find the best family for him. My sister somehow saw her post and I wrote to the family. I met Nate at my house. Then we met a second time at a park. Then he came for the weekend and finally a two-week stay that turned into furever.

He loves going on errands with me in the car. He spends a lot of time with his cousin Spotty and enjoys knitting at Kanter Park with the Gates Ave Knitters."
