About Nico
Do you need a little excitement in your life? Meet Nico! At just eleven months old, this small mixed breed pup is full of energy and ready for adventure. Weighing in at 29 pounds, Nico is all about fun, whether he's on the move, playing tug-of-war, or showing off his playful spirit. Nico was adopted from our shelter but returned because he craved more interaction and companionship. Left alone for too long, he tended to get anxious and a bit too creative with his surroundings. A bright pup like him needs an owner who's ready to help with crate training and provide plenty of engagement. With the right patience and consistency, he can flourish in a loving home. Nico enjoys meeting new friends, both human and canine, and his tail wags eagerly when he spots other dogs. He walks well on a leash and loves to sniff everything around him. He’s got a curious personality, and whether he's being silly with toys or socializing with visitors, he brings joy wherever he goes. If you think you can keep up with Nico's lively spirit, he’d love to meet you! Stop by during open hours to see if he’s a match for your life. Plus, he's eligible for a unique trial adoption—take him home for five days to test the waters!
