Nico (Playful, Affectionate & Treat-Loving)'s Story

For serious adoption inquiries, please email us at info@TFPF.org to request an application form. Kindly note that we are not accepting phone calls at this time.<br/><br/>Nico is currently being fostered in Southern California, but we are willing to travel to Northern California for the right forever home with an experienced adopter.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>Nico is an approximately 3-year-old, neutered Pug with a sleek black coat, an irresistible smile, and a heart full of love. Despite his heartbreaking past—being thrown from a moving van onto train tracks alongside another dog—this brave boy has shown remarkable resilience. Thanks to a compassionate Good Samaritan who rescued him and brought him to The Fuzzy Pet Foundation (TFPF), Nico is now safe and thriving. He’s ready to find the forever home he truly deserves.<br/><br/>Nico adores human companionship and thrives on affection. His loving nature and playful spirit will melt your heart. He even does the most endearing little twirl on his hind legs when he gets excited for mealtime! Playful and curious, he enjoys shaking and tossing his squeaky toys, exploring his surroundings, and going on his daily leash walks. At 22 pounds, he’s the perfect size for snuggling on the couch or joining you on fun adventures.<br/><br/>Friendly and outgoing, Nico gets along well with other dogs but has not yet been tested with cats. He has made friends and happily wrestled and played with well-mannered dogs of all sizes. Due to his past trauma, he would do best in a calm, stable home without rambunctious children who might accidentally startle or overwhelm him. He also loves being the center of attention!<br/><br/>We are seeking adopters with a strong history of excellent and consistent veterinary care, experience with brachycephalic breeds, and a deep commitment to providing Nico with a safe, loving, and stable home for the rest of his life.<br/><br/>Nico is in excellent health. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and lab work, and ready to begin his new life. He also underwent a dental cleaning when he arrived in our care.<br/><br/>**<br/><br/>To request an adoption application, please email info@TFPF.org

The Fuzzy Pet Foundation's Adoption Policy
Our Thorough Adoption Process ? At The Fuzzy Pet Foundation (TFPF), we take the responsibility of finding the best homes for our animals very seriously. Our adoption process is designed to ensure the safety and well-being of every cat and dog. Here are the steps involved: (1) Application: Each prospective adopter must fill out a detailed application. (2) Reference Check: We contact provided references to learn more about the adopter's experience and suitability. (3) Phone Call: We have a conversation to discuss expectations and answer any questions. (4) Home Visit: A home visit is conducted to ensure a safe environment for the pet. (5) Adoption Contract and Fee: Once approved, an adoption contract is signed to finalize the process, and the adoption fee will be collected. ? A Few Important Reminders ? ?? Respect and Kindness: We are a group of working professionals running TFPF as a volunteer-driven organization. We pour our hearts and souls into caring for these animals. Please be respectful and kind in your communications with us. ?? Patience: Our animals are in individual foster homes. Please do not demand to see them immediately or on the same day. We need time to thoroughly screen each application. Remember, we do not adopt out on a first-come, first-served basis. ?? Adoption Fees: These fees help cover a fraction of the expenses for vet care, housing, and supplies. Our adoption fee is generally 1/10 of what we incur. Please do not negotiate these fees as though you're bargaining for a bag of fruit. If you cannot afford the basic adoption fee, we advise against adopting, as vet bills and pet care expenses are significant everywhere. ?? Living Beings: Our animals are living, sentient beings. We ask for your understanding and patience as we work to find them the most loving and responsible homes. ? Zero Tolerance Policy: We will not tolerate rude, disrespectful, or entitled behavior, including "nasty grams" or aggressive emails. Thank you for your understanding and support. Together, we can find these wonderful animals the loving homes they deserve!
