Story
Nico may be little… but don’t tell him that. In his mind? He’s at least 100 pounds of pure confidence. 💪🐶 This sweet, high-energy guy wakes up ready to conquer the world. Toys? He’ll take two. Walks? Let’s go faster. Adventure? He thought you’d never ask. Nico has that big-dog attitude packed into a small, speedy body — and it’s impossible not to smile watching him strut around like he owns the place. But underneath all that spunky energy is a seriously sweet heart. He loves his people hard. He bonds fast. And after he’s burned off some zoomies, he’s more than happy to curl up close like the little guy he technically is. Nico is looking for someone who can match his enthusiasm for life, give him structure, and appreciate his hilarious “I’m huge” personality. Big spirit. Little body. Endless love. 💛
