Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nicco is a sweet dog who is four years of age that loves attention and loves to get praise. Nicco appears to be a mix of maybe a Border Collie and Golden Retriever. She takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people and does best if allowed to check them out in her own time. The Dog Whisperer's “no touch, no talk, no eye contact” is a great motto for her. Once she is friends with someone, she is their best friend. She would love to be in your lap and all snuggled up. She will bring you a ball as an offering in hopes to play and then give you lots of kisses. She is a very affectionate dog, loves to be with you and she is pretty good about doing what’s asked of her. She would prefer to be the only dog due to food aggression. She would do well at the dog park. No cats or small dogs for this beautiful girl. No kids. Nicco is a good size dog but not overly large. Nicco loves her ball(s) and she will carry a couple at a time. When you tell her drop she stops and she will drop and leave the ball. Nicco LOVES to play ball and it’s a good outlet for her energy and also a good reward and motivation for doing something asked of her. Her breed requires lots of activity so an active person would be a great fit for her. She becomes very attached to her person-this girls would love a person who loves her as much as she loves them. She would love to be a running, biking, hiking companion. Nicco loves to swim and when she sees water she becomes part duck. She is so happy in the water that if she’s in the river you have to remind her she’s getting down river and she needs to come back. Nicco is good about sleeping in her kennel or she behaves well outside of her kennel if you don’t mind. When it’s time to go to bed (or any other activity in the bedroom where she sleeps) she automatically goes into the kennel. When she’s in the family room and everyone is chilling, if she’s not lying at your feet she’s usually in her kennel with the door open. Nicco is not destructive and mostly just plays with a ball or giving you licks wanting attention. Nicco is funny when it comes to a ball (or anything else you might throw for her), if a ball is in the wrong place like under a chair, she has to get it out but is very good about getting out of the way and letting you get it for her. Nicco is a wonderful girl...we just have to find the right fit for her!! She hopes it's you!
Nicco's adoption donation is $200. LAMPR is a 501c3 public charity and all monies go to help other dogs in need and cover our astronomical vet bills. We cannot guarantee breed mix or temperament of our rescue pups.
Thanks for considering a rescue.
