About Nicole

Meet Nicole, one of four Plott Hounds saved from a high-kill shelter. At about 8 months and around 40 pounds, she still has that playful puppy spirit while learning what it means to be loved and part of a family. Raised together in an outdoor kennel, Nicole has thrived around various dogs and shows calmness and sweetness when outside her kennel. She's among the more outgoing sisters, eager for affection and ready to embrace what life has to offer. Although she barks at the resident cats at her foster home, she hasn't had enough interaction with them yet to know how she'll react in a permanent home. Nicole's foster family has been introducing her to indoor life, helping her acclimate to home routines and basic training. She'll need patience as she learns house training, leash walking, and more, but her loving nature and willingness to please make her a wonderful addition to any family. With her incredible resilience and gentle spirit, Nicole is set to embark on her next chapter filled with comfort, adventure, and connection. Are you ready to find your forever friend?
