Hello, my name is Nico. I will be six years old next week. Life has changed very suddenly for me. My owner loved me deeply, but due to their ill health, they could no longer give me the care I need. So now I am starting over, hoping to find a new home where I can feel safe, loved, and understood.
I have a cropped tail and a big, affectionate heart. I have lived happily with both male and female dogs, and I am gentle and kind with children. I really do love people—I seek out cuddles and lean into you when I want to be close.
I will be honest—I am not a fan of cats. I was tested, and I will chase if given the chance, so I need a home without them.
Because I have not had enough exercise in recent times, my back end is a little weak. But I am already getting stronger, slowly but surely. I take a high-quality supplement now, and the lovely people caring for me have promised to keep covering the cost of it going forward.
One thing I do struggle with is traffic. Cars make me anxious, and I react by barking and spinning on the lead. It is something I have been doing for a long time, and it is not easy for me to unlearn. Because of this, I would do best in a peaceful, rural home—somewhere away from busy roads. A home with land would be a dream for me. Training could help, but I know it will take time and patience, and I am so grateful to anyone willing to try.
What I truly want is to be loved again. To walk gently beside someone who understands that I am doing my best, even if I am not perfect. If you can offer me calm, space, and kindness, I will give you my whole heart in return.
