Nicky

My story

Due to a generous donation Nicky’s adoption fee has been reduced to $500! He has been with the rescue for over a year and is still searching for his forever people. Meet Nicky! He is 1.5 years old and weighs 50lbs. He is good with other dogs and cats. No young kids, but good with dog savvy older children. Nicky is with a foster in Puyallup. From his foster: Nicky has been waiting for that perfect person to come along. He has received donations to reduce his adoption fee to entice that perfect dog-savvy person to apply for him. He is a 1.5-year-old shepherd mix who is playful and energetic. He loves a good session of zoomies and will happily entertain himself with a squeaky ball for long stretches. He can also settle in for a movie night and cuddled up with his person. Nicky is crate trained but can be trusted out of his crate. He can be timid around unfamiliar guests and will need slow, patient introductions; once he feels comfortable, he becomes affectionate and gives great kisses. Because he is shy around new people, smaller children who might not read his signals are not the best fit right now. He enjoys long walks and does great on a leash in public, and is well-behaved in the car, but he is selective about other dogs who might approach him and appreciates space when needed. He is currently fostered in a home with other large and small breeds, and a cat. He does well with the cat and loves playtime with his foster brothers, but he does prefer his independence from them at times. He knows basic commands like sit and down. He is very treat motivated for more training. He is very affectionate and will develop a strong bond with the person he trusts. He is ready to become a loyal, devoted companion.
