Meet Nate — an adorable dog looking for a forever home and family that will appreciate his "bat" ears. 

Nate is a 12-year-old miniature pinscher Australian kelpie mix located at the Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco.

Found as a stray, Nate was brought to Muttville and is currently living in a foster home.

Nate is great with people but is not keen with all other canines — and does not like when others are rambunctious.

"He’s saving all the doggy love for his humans," Stanton said.
