About Nico
Nico is pressing for a foster or an adopterāhis current care is expensive, and funds are tight. He's been thriving with his professional trainer, showing off great manners and charm, but the cost means the rescue can't help other dogs until he finds a more permanent place. A committed foster even gets a stipend. Nico brings a lot of personality to the table: playful, goofy, and always ready for affection. He leans into people, offers his belly for rubs, and his signature move is the ākissy belly up.ā At about five years old and 60 lbs, with a stocky American Staffordshire/pit mix build and an easy short black coat, Nico is good in cars and at home. He is crate trained, house trained, and gets the hang of baths. His adoption includes lifetime training support from his current trainer. Nico must be the only dog in the home. Adults and older kids suit him best, as heās happiest when he gets to be the center of attention. Heās never had an adoption application, but the right person will find he lives up to his loyal, loving reputation. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
