Story
"Nico, why are you so amazing? Great question, I would love to tell you! First off, I am a great catch. Literally, I am great at playing catch. Do I always catch the ball? No. But do I look adorable chasing after it like a goof? Why yes, yes I do. I have other amazing qualities as well. I love kids, and playing with them is the highlight of my day. I mean, usually my playing is laying on their things or trying to kiss their face, but I am a very present playmate. I am also a wonderful motivator. Need to work or do your homework? I got your back, or at least I will lay next to you in such a cute way you will never want to move. You may be thinking, "he sounds a bit like a couch potato, and, well...you're not wrong. I do nap like it's a sport, but I also love to play tug-o-war and other fun games. Deep down though, I am not a complicated guy. I like the simple things like long walks on the street and a good cuddle. The way to my heart is definitely snacks and a good belly rub. Physical touch is my love language! Other hobbies include sunbathing and guarding the backyard from invaders. Squirrels may look innocent, but they are plotting to take over the world! Don't worry, they can't get passed me! In addition to being quite the looker, I am also extremely empathetic. If you're sad, we're sad. Other than that, I love life and all the people in it, and I am just waiting to find my perfect match! The only thing I don't like is rain; but, I was found tied outside a home during Hurricane Nico, so it's definitely understandable. The trick to helping me with this, is just leave the doors open! I will find my safe space (sometimes a closet, a certain bed, or even a bathroom). Since I do like so much human touch, I'm not really a pack guy. I will engage with other dogs, but I just assume have a home where I can hang with my humans as my first choice. If I sound like your kind of guy, contact Houston Cares Animal Rescue, or my super fun foster family, and apply to adopt me today.
