About Nico

Meet Nico! At 3 years old, this medium-sized Cattle Dog mix is as charming as they come. Nico is not just any pup; he’s well-mannered, house-trained, and kennel-trained, plus he knows his basic commands and walks beautifully on a leash. He's a playful soul who enjoys a good game of tug-of-war and loves the company of other dogs, making him a great companion for someone seeking an active partner. While Nico is affectionate and social, his herding instincts might lead to a bit of nipping when excited. For that reason, he'd do best in a home without small children. Already neutered and up to date on vaccinations, Nico comes with everything a new owner would need, including two dog beds, blankets, toys, and his kennel. His adoption fee is waived, as it includes his microchip and transportation to locations across CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. This intelligent boy is ready to settle into a forever home where he can be your loyal friend. Could Nico be the perfect match for you?
