Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lakewood/Long Beach, CA
Gorgeous Nico needs a home. He is 14 lbs. and a young 9 yrs. old. Docked tail and natural ears. He is a bit overweight and should be about 10 or 11 lbs. A little diet and daily walk is all he needs and it will come right off.
His owners work all the time and when they are not working they are very active. Most of the time Nico is home alone and is very sad about it.
Nico loves to cuddle. He loves soft blankets and warm bodies to snuggle into. He is content lying next to his favorite human for hours. He can roll over when you say “show me your belly” and loves to get rewarded with belly scratches. Nico loves to be outside exploring and to sunbathe. He loves long walks and will show you he’s happy by smiling! Nico loves to play with mini tennis balls and destroying stuffed animals with fluff in them to get to the squeaker, typical MinPin, LOL.
Nico has a funny personality and is a bit of an oddball, which makes for tons of laughs over the years. He is very cute in person, but is a bit camera shy and always gives awkward vibes to his photoshoots.
Nico loves his humans more than anything. He gets along with cats and dogs as you can see in his pictures and video.
He would do extremely well with someone who can give him some structure with training and a lot of patience and love. Nico wants to be a good boy and to be loved, he just needs more attention than we can give him and consistency. He is very anxious in his current home because his family works and travels a ton. His needs are not being met and it's very sad for him. He needs a sense of security, structure and routine to help him feel more secure.
For more information pllease contact Lori minpinfifi@gmail.com
Although Nico's adoption is a private adoption, IMPS MinPin Rescue is helping screen homes for the right fit for Nico. If you would like to meet Nico please fill out an adoption application at minpinrescue.org and please make a NOTE that says FOR NICO.
Here is another video of Nico hanging out in his back yard.
