About Nicky

Meet Nicky, a charming Chihuahua who weighs just under 8 pounds and brings her gentle spirit to every moment. At an estimated 13 years old, she carries a wealth of experience and grace. Nicky is well-mannered and knows how to respect her environment; she enjoys the cozy comfort of her soft-sided bedroom, where she stays open all night, ready to greet the day at 7 a.m. After doing her business, she loves to lounge on a sunny spot in the kitchen, savoring her breakfast. This sweet girl is comfortable on a leash but prefers the comfort of home, often wanting to return inside after a brief outing. Nicky thrives in a calm, low-activity environment and relishes her time in laps, but she also plays well with other dogs and children. She’s notably clean, sheds little, and quickly adapts to new routines. Nicky is part of our Senior to Senior adoption program, matching her with loving senior companions. If you use our Alexandria vet, Frankies Furry Friends will cover her medical expenses. The adopter provides loving care, food, and treats. This could be the start of something paw-some.
