Pica

Pica arrived at NCCR on 4/5/25, transferred from an overcrowded shelter to give him a better chance. He is an approximately 1-year-old neutered male mixed breed weighing around 45 lbs. Pica’s DNA results are in! He is a Dalmatian and German Shepherd mix, which explains his good looks. Pica is friendly and outgoing with people and most other dogs, but can be leery and nervous with strangers when he’s out of his comfort zone. He’s not had much training but he walks pretty well on a leash, loves to play in the water, is high-energy, enjoys playing with toys and participating in 1-on-1 games with people. He needs a little work with housetraining, but overall Pica is a nice dog who needs some confidence building and ongoing training work put in. He will be a great exercise buddy!
