Nico's Story

Hi there! I’m Nico, an adorable 8-month-old pup with a whole lot of love to give and some BIG feet to grow into! Seriously, have you seen these paws? I think I might have some growing left to do! <br/><br/>My mom is a Pittie and my dad is a Rottie, so I got the best of both worlds, including some handsome Rottweiler-style brown markings. Pretty cute, right? <br/><br/>I'm still a puppy, which means I'm learning all about this big, wonderful world. And guess what? I'm a VERY good student! Especially when snacks are involved. <br/><br/>Here's a little about me:<br/><br/> House-trained AND crate-trained! I already know how to be a good boy inside the house. Look at me go!<br/><br/> Learning to walk on a leash! I'm still practicing, but I'm working hard to become your perfect walking buddy.<br/><br/> Future fetch champion? I'm interested in learning how to play ball and fetch. I'll need a little coaching, but I'm eager to learn!<br/><br/> Will work for food! LOL! Show me a treat, and I'll happily sit for you. I even take treats with a VERY gentle mouth. A gentleman in training, if I do say so myself!<br/><br/> Professional kiss-giver! Need a little extra love in your day? I've got plenty of puppy kisses to share!<br/><br/> Quiet and gentle! I'm a pretty calm, submissive boy who isn't looking to cause a ruckus. I'm eager to please and very trainable, so with a little patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, I have all the potential to grow into an amazing companion.<br/><br/> Great family potential! I should do well with kids and other dogs, making me a wonderful candidate for a family looking to add a furry friend to their crew.<br/><br/>I'm still young, so I'll need a family willing to help me learn, grow, and become the best boy I can be. In return, I'll give you lots of affection, gentle kisses, and those adorable big-pawed puppy looks that are pretty hard to resist! <br/><br/> I'm available for FOSTER or ADOPTION!<br/><br/>Maybe you have room in your home to foster me while I wait for my forever family, or maybe you're the family I've been dreaming about all along. Either way, I'd love the chance to meet you!<br/><br/> Please call my rescue mom at 901-570-1488 to learn more about me or talk about fostering or adopting.<br/><br/>I may have big feet to grow into, but I already have a BIG heart ready to love you! <br/><br/>Love and puppy kisses,<br/>Nico

Memphis and Midsouth Animal Advocates's Adoption Policy
I am careful and conservative......lots of information gathering, several meetings at their home and at the rescue. I contact their Vet references if they have cared for animals before. Mandatory three training sessions that I attend with them and the pet if they have never had a pet before. We supervise the introductions of their current animals and their prospective pet. We provide aftercare followup and advice for the lifetime of their pet. We insist in the contract that the pet comes back to us immediately if they don't work in their adoptive family. Our dogs in the Midsouth need to be indoor dogs, no chains or tethers unless their person is outside with them, such as gardening in the front yard or camping.
