About Nico

Nico is a gentle giant in search of his forever home. He’s learning the joys of being a dog and developing his trust in people. Starting slow is key for him, especially when it comes to leash walks. While the first few minutes can feel overwhelming, Nico quickly becomes a delightful walking companion who enjoys sniffing and exploring his surroundings. His playful side shines in the play yard, where he loves to initiate play bows, zoomies, and chase after anything you throw. He’s even starting to learn fetch! This medium-energy, playful, and independent dog is house trained and would thrive with a patient adopter who allows him to build confidence at his own pace. Nico is also recommended for Doggie Day Out, adding an extra fun aspect to his days. Ready to welcome Nico into your life?
