NICO (NEO) - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd. Meet Nico! Nico is a stunning 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd who is both playful and incredibly smart. He came to PAR from a large hoarding situation with over 85 dogs, and he’s been learning what it means to be a family dog. With patience and love, this boy has made amazing progress. Nico is crate trained, house trained, and walks beautifully on a leash. In the home, he’s calm and well-mannered, often retreating to his crate for a little quiet time in his safe space. At his foster home, Nico shares life with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and humans—and he gets along well with all of them. While Nico is shy when meeting new people, he warms up with patience and gentle encouragement. Because of his background, he would do best in a home with children over 10. One thing that brings Nico pure joy is being around other dogs—he really needs a playful canine companion to help him thrive. Nico’s favorite activities are romping around the yard and exploring on leash walks. For his safety and happiness, a fenced yard is required. With time, patience, and love, Nico will continue to blossom into the wonderful family companion he was always meant to be. Applications can be filled out at .piedmontanimalrescue/adopt!
