My story

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

Meet Nichol!

Personality: Gentle. Loyal. Snack-motivated.

Likes: Snacks with purpose, going for walks!

Nichol is the kind of dog who believes in first impressions that improve with time. She may be a little reserved at first, but give her a moment (and maybe a snack), and she’ll happily settle in right by your side. Once she warms up, she’s all about quiet companionship, couch snuggles, and being your loyal shadow.
She appears house trained, walks nicely on leash, knows how to sit, and takes treats with the gentlest manners imaginable—seriously, it’s impressive. Nichol isn’t flashy; she’s thoughtful, sweet, and the kind of dog who makes your home feel calmer just by being there.
Fun fact: Nichol takes treats so gently you’ll wonder if she’s afraid of hurting your feelings!

If you’re looking for a low-key best friend who blossoms with a little patience and a few snacks, Nichol is ready to meet you.
