About Nicky

Nicky is about 9 years old and was rescued from euthanasia at a high-kill shelter in Southern California. He has a vet appointment coming up on July 1st for neutering, bloodwork, and to check on his left leg, which he occasionally holds up. He might be blind in one eye, but he gets around well for his age and is in good shape, with no breathing issues. With a charming flappy tongue, Nicky enjoys following you around and is a great lap dog; he’s not overly active but loves walks and spending time outdoors. He seems to get along well with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion. We would love to see him find a loving home to enjoy his golden years. Nicky weighs 55 pounds and is already neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
