Nico PHS

Meet Nico, your new shadow and best friend!<br/><br/>Hi there! I&#39;m a 7-month-old German Shepherd mix with a big, fluffy, wavy coat and an even bigger heart. I&#39;m still growing into my big ol&#39; paws, but one thing is certain-I&#39;m a total lovebug. If you&#39;re nearby, I want to be right there with you (or at least close enough to rest my head near your feet). They call me a velcro dog-I just like to be where my people are!<br/><br/>I&#39;m still new to this whole &#34;world&#34; thing, and wow-there&#39;s a lot to take in! From the three steps up to the front door to that weird box that makes dishes disappear (I think it&#39;s called a dishwasher?), everything is brand new to me. I like to take my time and observe before I get too close. A little encouragement and patience go a long way with me. You could say I&#39;m cautiously curious-gentle, thoughtful, and learning at my own pace.<br/><br/>My energy level is medium for now, but it might change as I gain confidence and grow. I like short walks (I&#39;m pretty good on leash, though I&#39;m still figuring out how not to walk between your legs!) and then hanging out close by while you do your thing. I&#39;m working on my basic commands-sit, down, come-and I really want to be the best good boy for my forever family.<br/><br/>I love chewing on bones and I&#39;m slowly figuring out how to play with toys. I also enjoy supervised backyard time, especially when I find a stick or a tiny rock to gnaw on-though Mom says I can&#39;t keep the rocks. I don&#39;t dig, which I hear is a plus!<br/><br/>Brushing? I actually like it! My soft, plush coat needs regular grooming, and I&#39;m happy to soak up the attention. I&#39;m affectionate, gentle when I take treats, and I love asking for belly rubs and pets.<br/><br/>My foster family includes a Mom, a Dad, and an 11-year-old female German Shepherd. She&#39;s still getting used to having me around, so we&#39;re taking introductions slowly. I&#39;d really love a playmate-if they&#39;re friendly and patient. But even if it&#39;s just us doing things together, I&#39;d be perfectly happy with that too.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re looking for a sweet, loyal, fluffy sidekick who&#39;s discovering the world one careful step at a time, I just might be your guy.<br/><br/>Nico is a level 4 dog and the adopters must be puppy approved.
