About Nick

Nick is a charming Lab mix, just a five-month-old puppy with a heart full of love. He and his brother Buck recently made the journey from Georgia, and he's eager to find a forever home. Although he's 45 pounds of playful energy, he’s quite the gentle giant who’s learning to navigate life. Nick is a little unsure of new things, but he's working on his confidence with the support of his foster family. Fully house trained and crate trained, Nick hasn’t had an accident since arriving in his foster home. He enjoys playtime with his kitty foster brother and makes friends easily at dog daycare. This adorable cuddle bug believes he's a lap dog, always looking to snuggle up with those around him. For his safety, a home with older kids might be best since he's still adjusting to his size. Nick loves his outdoor playtime in the fenced yard as well. If you're looking for a loving companion, Nick might just be the perfect fit for your family. Ready to fall in love?
