About Nico

Nico is a gentle soul navigating a tough world. This medium-sized male Terrier aims to find a sense of peace and belonging after a series of disappointments. After starting as a stray pup in 2024, he was briefly adopted but returned to the shelter in August 2026. The stress of shelter life often leaves him anxious, though he tends to settle in with some patience. Nico enjoys leash walks and is receptive to affection, but too much restraint can be overwhelming for him, understandably. He's friendly with everyone and prefers to coexist peacefully with other dogs, often choosing to keep to himself. With your support, Nico hopes to find a true forever home where he can feel safe and loved. Let’s help Nico find the family he deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
