My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nico is a very popular name these days; it’s a shortened form of the name Nicholas, which is of Greek origin and means “victorious people.” The victory that our Nico is looking for is winning his furever home!

Nico was found by a member of the public who shared that he was friendly, liked to play fetch, and walked well on a leash.

A shelter volunteer shared that Nico LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to play in the yard with his female kennelmate! He is playful ALL the time! He is friendly, yet independent with people, which is great news if you love dogs but are looking for a pup who’s not stuck to you like glue!

Nico would like to meet any potential furry roommates before heading home to ensure a good fit. He may do best in a home with no kiddos, or one with older kiddos who understand how to appropriately interact with pets.

We don’t know about Nico’s past before he came to PACC, but YOU can help him write a new story going forward!! Come meet Nico today!
