My story

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

We have another Stunner, this Boy is NICO a gorgeous White Shepherd/ Setter mix. Nico is approx 45lb he is 7 months old, and has the most wonderful temperament and beautiful features. A unique mix Nico is blessed with stunning good looks, gorgeous white teeth, a beautiful thick white coat and lovely soft brown eyes that can melt your heart .

Nico`S story starts here ))) Nico came to us from our Georgia base he was just a few weeks old when we rescued him a tiny little mite living in squalor in a dilapidated trailer, He was full of worms and had demodex, not a good way to start his life. We treated Nico weekly at the vets and now he is beautiful, healthy and ready for his forever home with someone who has time to spend with him and love him as much as we do. Nico has lived in a loving foster home while he was in rehab so he is used to house rules Although he is a pup and sometimes chooses not to listen if you change your tone he will run and hide. Nico isnt just beautiful he has a lovely temperament. He is energetic and playful so he is now placed at our Florida base that has plenty of activity and other dogs for him to play with. He is currently living the life of what a pup should expect. Nico has lots of energy he just loves to run and play with all the others, call him my White Tornado, He gets along with other dogs and he will wrestle with them. NicO is also happy playing alone tossing his toys in the air and catching them. I would suggest not placing him with a senior dog or it may get irritated with his playfulness He is very agile but on the flip side he is super loving and likes nothing better than to cuddle with you on the sofa. We are now searching for a wonderful forever home for him. A home that will give him stability and security and active life he needs This boy is so lovable he deserves a family that will give him the love and attention he deserves. Nico will warm to you and just melt your heart. he likes the dog parks, and to ride in the car he knows commands sit & down, he is energetic, fun and playful. We have not crated Nico we do not crate our dogs and we would be looking for a family that will not crate him At night time he will sleep on a sofa , bed or even the floor as long as you are close by however he just loves to sleep on your bed he loves to be close to his humans that he trusts. If you dont like a dog on your furniture Nico is not for you he likes home comforts. Nico is housebroken, he will go to the door when he needs to go out to potty. he will come when called. its so hard not to fall in love with this boy And its very difficult to find anything negative to say about him although he can be curious and may steal things to take outside. Nico is neutered, current on all vaccinations , heartworm negative micro.chipped and up to date on monthly prevention. He is happiest being in a family environment and enjoying freedom to relax in the home. We are looking to find Nico a wonderful forever home where he can have stability and security in his life. We are looking for a forever home that can cherish him and give him the love and attention he needs and instill a little discipline, A family that is really stable and can give him that forever home that means forever we dont ever want to see this boy back in rescue. A family that will include him in their lifestyle and activities Nico will Shine with the right interaction. Someone that is at home most of the day he dosent like to be apart from you for hours on end. A home with a FENCED in yard or acreage where he can run and play is ESSENTIAL. Another dog would be wonderful for him to play with Nico has always been around other dogs he plays hard with the others. Nico will also let you know if there is someone hanging around that will illicit a bark she will also bark if he is a little afraid of something, We are looking for a super loving home for Nico he will not be an outside dog or a guard dog, he needs a happy family life with home comforts. If you think that you have what it takes for this bundle of dynamite and can open your your heart and home, to make Nico`s life complete you will be rewarded with a wonderful , loyal faithful friend that will bring you endless hours of pleasure.
