Hi, I'm Nick - Your New Best Friend Just Waiting to Meet You! Age: 2 years old Weight: 56 lbs Breed: Yellow Lab/Terrier Mix Neutered | Fully Vaccinated | Microchipped | Heartworm Treatment Ready Hi there! My name's Nick, and let me tell you - it's been quite a journey getting here. I spent a long time in a small rural shelter where I got to know every human and pup there. The staff would tell me I was their favorite (but don't tell the others ). I was always happy to greet everyone, tail wagging and full of hope. But one day, everything changed. I overheard that the shelter had run out of space... and my name was at the top of the euthanasia list. I didn't understand - I had been such a good boy. The staff was heartbroken. But then, something amazing happened. A foster family stepped up just in time, and I got my freedom ride to New Orleans! The humans cried happy tears - I think I did, too. Now, I'm safe, loved, and ready for my forever home. Since arriving at my foster home, I've been showing everyone just how awesome I am: I get along really well with similarly-sized dogs (no small animals, please) and I love people, cuddles, and quiet time. I'm a relaxed, easy-going guy who just wants to be part of the family! I am heartworm positive, but don't worry - my rescue is taking care of my treatment, and I'm ready to start! Once that's behind me, I'll be all set for a long, healthy, happy life with my forever humans. Here's what I'm dreaming about: A cozy home with people who will love me as much as I love them. Walks, snuggles, treats, and belly rubs - I'm not asking for much. Just a chance to be someone's dog, forever. So... what do you say? If you're looking for a sweet, gentle, loving companion with a heart full of gratitude, I'm your guy. I've already been through a lot, but I still believe the best is yet to come. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
