About Nico

Nico is a 1-year-old, approximately 12-pound Shih Tzu mix with a heart of gold! He arrived at the shelter in rough shape, clearly neglected and matted, a heartbreaking testament to a past lacking in care. Despite his difficult beginnings, Nico has emerged as a truly wonderful companion. He's sweet, gentle, playful, and incredibly affectionate, always eager for attention and showing a warm, trusting personality. Nico quietly blossoms into someone's whole world, offering unwavering loyalty, love, and happy companionship. He's currently a bit underweight but will quickly thrive with the proper care and love he so deserves.

Ideal Home

Nico would love a family who will truly cherish him and shower him with the love and care he's been missing.

Ongoing Health

Nico is currently slightly underweight but is expected to gain it back quickly with proper nutrition and care.

Training & Support

Nico is house-trained.
