Meet the charming Nick! Born on May 19, 2025, this delightful pup weighs in at 24 pounds of pure joy! 🌟 Nick’s journey began in a breeding facility, but he’s ready to fill a loving home with laughter and light. Currently being fostered in Higginsville, MO, he’s eager to find his forever family! Nick is your classic playful puppy—full of energy and a knack for nibbling on fingers (don’t worry, he stops when you ask)! 🐾 His big puppy personality shines through when he’s playing with his toys or getting rough with his foster siblings. The good news? He’s a fantastic sleeper, curling up in his wire crate all night without a peep. ☁️ Now, let’s talk about this little heartthrob’s quirks! Nick is diligently working on housebreaking and has already mastered the art of using a doggy door. And guess what? The vacuum cleaner doesn’t even faze him! His favorite pastime? Cuddling up on the couch while basking in belly rubs—he’s even been known to sleep on his back, inviting you to scratch that sweet tummy! 🥰 However, Nick has a protective side when it comes to his home. He needs a proper introduction before welcoming new furry friends into his space. Once he gets to know a pup outside, they’ll be best buds ready to take on the world together! 🦮 He’s learning how to walk on a leash but does especially well with a canine buddy by his side. Here’s a bit more about this fabulous fella: - Housetrained? Working on it! - Leash-trained? Still a work in progress! - Car rides? Needs to be tethered for safety. - Dog friendly? Absolutely, yes! - Good with cats? Not tested yet, but he'll do his best! - Great with young kids? Perfect for ages four and up! - Good with strangers? Nick loves making new friends! 🤗 He’s confident, loves barking a little (after all, he’s got a big personality!), and while he doesn’t do well in apartments, he definitely needs a fenced yard! 🏡 Important note for his new family: they’ll need to get him heartworm tested at one year of age, but no other special needs right now! Nick’s adoption fee is $550, a small price to pay for a lifetime of love and laughter! 💖 If you think you can provide the joy and guidance this big-hearted pup needs, don’t wait—apply through the Buddy App today!
