About Nico

Howdy! My name is Nico, and I'm a handsome 2-year-old German Shepherd ready to find my forever home. I weigh about 90lbs and I'm a big, athletic boy who loves to keep active! I'm looking for an experienced owner who can provide the structure and consistency I thrive on. I'm food motivated, so I think training will be a breeze – especially if there's cheese or hot dogs involved! I'm hoping to earn a PhD in obedience to become the best canine citizen. I'd make a wonderful active companion for someone who enjoys daily walks, hikes, or runs. I get along well with large female dogs and would love a canine friend to play chase with. I'm also house and crate trained! If you're looking for a big, smart, handsome, and friendly companion, I'm your guy!

Ideal Home

I need a stern and experienced owner who can teach me the ropes and provide a routine with structure and consistency. A home with teenage or adult children is preferred. I cannot live in a home with cats.

Ongoing Health

I am up-to-date on vaccinations, heart-worm testing, and monthly preventatives. I have been spayed or neutered.

Training & Support

I need full obedience training and would benefit from someone who can help me understand that I'm not the boss. My food motivation makes me a great candidate for training.
