Nico's Story

Hi! I’m Nico, a very special 6 year old, 8 lb toy poodle. I’m looking for a very special family and forever home. The main thing you should know is that I’m curious, courageous, and smart! And handsome, of course!<br/><br/>They tell me I was kept by a “backyard breeder,” which means I didn’t get the love and care a lot of dogs get, so I’m shy. They didn’t take care of my teeth, so now I don’t have any. I wasn’t allowed to walk on grass—but I’m learning to in my foster home. (That’s the courageous part!)<br/><br/>I need someone patient enough to help me learn all the things puppies get to learn, like how to potty outside and how to tell you when I need to go. And that it’s okay to eat even if someone is watching. (I eat well when I’m ready and in private. I potty on a pee pad. )<br/><br/>Because I’m shy right now, I spend a lot of time in my crate. I’m quiet as a mouse and not at all aggressive. I get along fine with other dogs, though I’m also quite happy as a loner.<br/><br/>I’m neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my shots.<br/><br/>If you are that special someone or family that will help me learn to trust and bring out the awesomeness I’m hiding inside, you can apply to adopt me at Homes Fur Hounds.<br/><br/>www.homesfurhounds.org<br/><br/>I'm located in Williamsburg, Va.

Homes Fur Hounds, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
1. Once you have identified the dog(s) you are interested in meeting, you must submit an Adoption Application. You can find the application at https://www.homesfurhounds.org 2. Be patient. We occasionally have a high volume of applications, especially on puppies. 3. If your application is approved you will be contacted to arrange a meet and greet with the dog(s) you are interested in meeting. Whenever we have more than one applicant who is approved, we set up the meet and greet in the order in which the applications were received. 4. We are a small rescue group and do require home checks. Therefore, we only adopt to VA, NC and MD. Exceptions are made for medically needy or seniors if no qualified applicant is located in our adoption area. 5. We do keep applications on file for 6 months, so even if you aren’t selected for a particular dog, if you see another dog of interest, let us know and we will consider your application at that time. 6. Please don’t be offended if you are not selected to adopt. We try to match the dog with the BEST home for them. Just because you weren’t selected for a specific dog does not mean you can’t apply for another one. 7. Our adoption fee is $300.00.
