“The mystical experience is doubly valuable. It is valuable because it gives the experiencers a better understanding of themselves and the world, and because it may help them to lead less self-centered and more creative lives.” --- Aldous Huxley

Nacho is a three year old husky/border collie/shepherd mix who is a nice medium size. He has nice manners, seems friendly with all other dogs, and is at the front of his kennel to meet people, including kids. He walks well on a leash and is an easy going guy who wants to be your best friend with lots of spoilage!
