Nicholas's Story

Meet Nicholas, a truly one-of-a-kind dog. This special, 8-year-old beagle mix is unlike any dog you’ve met before. Nicholas has an excess of skin as a result of having once had large masses on his body. The masses were surgically removed, and he was left with extra skin. We know some people go crazy for doggy wrinkles, but Nicholas takes this look to a whole new level. Extra skin means extra to love and it sure is easy to love Nicholas. He gets along great with everyone he meets—dogs, humans, and even cats! He is a staff and volunteer favorite because he exudes personality. He enjoys a nice frolic in the yard, but he’s definitely no athlete—a great companion for those that like a well-balanced lifestyle and would enjoy a gentle senior to join them. His favorite thing? Treats, treats, and more treats. He’s also a fan of head scratches and leash walks. He loves to put his sniffer to the test, especially if there are treats hiding in the grass. If you want a dog that will be a friend like no other, come meet Nicholas.<br/><br/>Age: 8 yrs<br/>Weight: 68 lbs<br/>Special Needs: excess skin<br/>Adoption Fee: $0 - his adoption fee has been waived due to a grant from the Grey Muzzle organization<br/><br/><br/>Our shelter facility - Muttopia - is located in Santa Rosa and is not open to the public. All of our dogs are viewed by appointment only. The first step in our adoption process is to submit our online adoption questionnaire. You can find the questionnaire here: https://cwob.org/adoption-form.html.
