Nico

For the first time, Nico is learning what it's like to live with people in a house - and he loves it!

He moved into his foster home a bit anxious and uncertain because he apparently had never been a pet in a home before. Now, he's flourishing! He loves being with his fosters and he's having fun playing outdoors with their dogs. He's learning a lot about playing with new toys. He's happy to roll around on a bed with his tail wagging.

Nico is also learning about leash walking. At home, he's beginning to learn about obedience skills. Meanwhile, he's a sweet, gentle boy who's giving kisses, leaning on his people for hugs and looking for their petting.

He is being introduced to a crate, but in the meantime he does well in a laundry room when his fosters are away, just looking out the window. And he is house-trained.

Nico will love to be in a home with adult parents who can kindly continue showing him how wonderful it is to be a pet. He is still shy when meeting new people and seems to prefer females, so may want to be adopted by women. He likes other dogs a lot but can also be fine with a single person who wants a close friend. He promises he will be one!

Come meet this lovable boy. And you can see more about him on Instagram: Adopt_systemofadog.
