Nico is a striking 4-year-old husky/shepherd mix. He’s got that classic two-tone eye color that always turns heads and a long, plush coat in creamy tan shades. Nico’s owner was no longer able to care for him, so now he’s waiting at the shelter in Cape May Court House, NJ, for a new family. This is the kind of dog who thrives on being around people—he’ll press in for pets, soak up every bit of attention, and show off just how affectionate he can be. He’s happy chasing toys or spending time exploring outdoors, nose to the ground, but he’ll also settle down and stand quietly when you harness him up. Nico knows his manners on a leash and performs tricks for treats, always eager to show off what he’s learned in exchange for a reward. High energy defines him, so a home that keeps him engaged and moving suits him best. Nico gets along with some dogs but is picky about his canine friends. He’s not a fan of cats and will need to be the only pet. Given his size, energy, and outlook, he’d do well with active owners—especially families with older kids. Nico has all the quirks and charm you’d expect from a husky/shepherd mix and is ready to deliver plenty of fun and companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
