My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

*****URGENT FOSTER/ADOPTER NEEDED******
(Neeko is a courtesy post, he is not with Dogs Unlimited Rescue. If interested please see contact info below)

*****URGENT FOSTER/ADOPTER NEEDED*****
Nico is in need of an adopter or foster ASAP! Small dogs quite often can have fear issues and when Nico first meets someone, he needs some time to get comfortable. Nico’s previous owner insisted on returning him after he snapped at a new guest who didn’t approach him responsibly. He has never bitten anyone, and once he is comfortable that behavior disappears. He is in a temporary foster home but there are big dogs that will eat him for lunch, so he needs a safer environment.

Nico just needs someone who is patient and will work on training to help him overcome
his fears. He loves his toys but can be a little possessive, a trait that a little training can correct. Once he is comfortable with his humans, he is a cuddler. All he needs is someone that will love him, make him feel safe, and has some experience with training. We would love for him to find a loving home, but if you are in the Northern Ohio area, we need a temporary foster home ASAP.
