Nico's Story

Lowrider Alert!<br/><br/>Nico may look like a tiny Lab, but we suspect there’s some Basset (and a little mystery!) in the mix. This adorable 28-pound, 2-year-old sweetheart is the perfect compact companion.<br/><br/>Nico is house trained, rides well in the car, and gets along great with other dogs. He’d be happy as an only dog or sharing his home with a canine friend. He loves to fetch, has mastered dropping the ball on command, and makes a wonderful walking buddy.<br/><br/>Nico is also a smart boy who has made great progress with his manners. In his previous home, his excited, mouthy puppy behavior was not properly corrected—no aggression, just a young dog who wasn’t taught that hands aren’t toys. With clear guidance and positive structure, he quickly learned the rules and now plays politely.<br/><br/>At his core, Nico is a sweet, affectionate, and somewhat lonely little dog who just wants to be loved and included. He misses having people of his own and thrives on attention and connection.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal, eager-to-please companion who just needs a bit of guidance and a whole lot of love… Nico may be your perfect match. Apply today at redbarnrescue.com to meet him!

Red Barn Rescue's Adoption Policy
All dogs in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (including Rabies when age-appropriate), heartworm tested, and kept on heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Many dogs also receive dental care, heartworm treatment, or other medical procedures as needed. Prospective adopters must complete an adoption application and receive approval before meeting a dog. Applicants must list all current pets, and those pets must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. A home visit may be required as part of our approval process. Once approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet with your family, including current dogs. Adopters are responsible for ongoing veterinary care, keeping their pets up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and maintaining a safe, responsible home. If you are looking for a specific type or breed, you may submit an application and note your preferences for future consideration. Our adoption fee reflects the medical care and resources invested in preparing each dog for a healthy start. If an adopter can no longer care for their dog, the dog must be returned to Red Barn Rescue as stated in our contract.
