About Nico

Howdy! My name is Nico, and I'm a handsome 2-year-old German Shepherd boy looking for my forever home. I'm a big guy, weighing about 90lbs, and I have a lot of love and energy to give! I'm a fast and athletic fellow, perfect for keeping up with your daily walks, hikes, or runs. Being active is super important for my happiness and well-being. I'm also a smart cookie and very food-motivated, so training should be a blast – a few treats and I'm all yours! I'm already house-trained and crate-trained, and I get along well with large female dogs, so a canine friend to play chase with would be the cherry on top. If you're looking for a big, smart, athletic, and friendly companion, I'm your guy!

Ideal Home

I'm looking for a home with teenage or adult humans. I do not get along with cats. I also need a firm and experienced owner who can provide consistent structure and routine, and teach me that I'm not the boss!

Ongoing Health

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

Training & Support

I need full obedience training to become a good canine citizen. I am food-motivated, so training should be a breeze with tasty rewards!
