Meet Nicholas, the joyful and sweet pup with a stunning brindle coat! 🎉 Just picture him, a little soul with a heart learning to trust again—his journey has taken him from the streets of Texas to a hopeful new beginning in Minnesota. 🐾 Found alongside two other small dogs, Nicholas had quite the challenge, but through it all, he remains tender-hearted and full of love, just waiting to bloom in the right environment! 🌼 Nicholas may take some time to warm up to new faces, so he needs a family that understands the beauty of patience and gentle introductions. When he does finally lean in, oh boy, get ready for a heartwarming cuddle-fest! 🤗 He deserves a calm, understanding home where the love flows freely and he can build trust at his own pace. This little darling is en route to Minnesota and will be arriving on 02/07/2026! 🗓️ Just a note for all the eager adopters: pickups will be at the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN, between 8:30 AM and noon. 🕗 Plan accordingly, as Nicholas has a strict timeline! He is eligible through the Foster to Adopt Program, meaning you can get to know him better before making your forever commitment! Plus, as his foster, you will be obliged to transport him for any necessary vet appointments. 🏥 But don’t worry—it’ll be an adventure filled with love! So, if Nicholas resonates with your heart, don’t wait! Apply through the Buddy App to start the journey of bringing this sweet soul into your life! 🐕💖
