More About Nicholas

This very unique looking boy was fending for himself in a very bad part of town. One of our volunteers noticed him sleeping by the side of the road and after asking around the neighborhood, she was able to confirm that he had been living on the street for quite a while. Nick weighs around 50 pounds, but since he is very skinny, he should probably gain at least 10 or more pounds.

Nick is a little shy at first but he warms up quickly and once he does, what a lover! He really is an absolute doll with eyes that will melt your heart. Nick is housebroken and well mannered inside and he gets along with most other dogs, but he does not do well with cats. All he wants this Holiday season is a home to call his very own and a warm lap to lay his head on.
