Hello Northeastern humans! I’m a very soft and handsome male Bichon Frise mix named Nico. I am about 2 years old, weigh 21 lbs, and when my owner was deported to Mexico, I was surrendered to an Animal Shelter in San Marcos, Texas. Thankfully, I was quickly taken in by 4 Little Paws Rescue, and although I was terrified in the shelter, I was able to relax and make friends quickly with my foster family… mom, dad, children, and dogs.
I'm a sweetheart with a medium energy level, love playing and wrestling with my doggy friends, and I don't bother a litter of tiny puppies being fostered in my foster home. I am not crazy about dog toys, can be a bit shy at first with men, am great with kids, and I'm undisturbed by kids screaming or babies crying. I love human interaction and affection because I’m a sweet and snuggly lap dog who shares kisses with the other dogs and will kiss your hand but not your face. I am well-behaved in a home, with no chewing or digging, no guarding my food, only barking to alert you to something important, and I am already housebroken. I love going for walks and car rides, and although I will whine in a crate, I don't even need one! I am allowed to roam freely in my foster home, and I know how to use a doggy door if you have one. At night, I sleep in bed with my humans, and I’m hoping for the same perk in my forever home. My foster mom wants you to know that I have an easy-going personality, am as sweet as can be, and I don't mind kids playing with me. I am totally meant to be a forever dog, so inquire about me today!!
FYI… I am getting groomed next week, so check back for some new pictures!

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
