Story
Nicholas is the kind of dog who makes himself comfortable in your heart very quickly. He is affectionate, social, and absolutely convinced that butt scratches should be a full-time job for his humans. He enjoys meeting people, already knows several commands, and has the confidence of a dog who assumes everyone he meets might become his new best friend. He has done well out on walks, enjoys exploring, and has shown relaxed, friendly body language while spending time with staff. Nicholas also appears to have a goofy side, especially when attention is involved, and he is not shy about asking for more love once he knows you are willing to give it. Nicholas is looking for a home that understands him and can help set him up for success. He would likely do best as the only pet in the home, where he does not have to worry about sharing food, toys, or attention with other animals. In return, he is more than ready to soak up all the love for himself. He has lived with children and was described as doing well with them, and despite some sore hips and a dislike of having his feet handled, he still approaches life with enthusiasm and a strong desire to connect with people. Nicholas is one of those dogs who will thrive with structure, consistency, and someone willing to appreciate him for exactly who he is: a loyal, affectionate dog who wants a home where he can finally relax and just be somebody`s beloved companion. All adoptions include support from our adoption team to ensure a smooth transition from the shelter to your home. Adopted pets are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before leaving the shelter`s care.
