Nicole Terrier Mix Oswego, IL

Meet Nicole!
1.5 years
38lbs

Hi there! I’m Nicole, but my foster mom calls me Pepper or Peps due to my adorable speckles and spunky personality. I’m a 1 year old, 38.5 pound pittie mix looking for my forever home!

I currently live with two dog siblings, and I absolutely love playing with my 2-year-old shepherd sister and I am respectful of the 10-year-old husky mix. I’ve interacted well with every dog and person that I have met, and I did great playing with a six-year-old child! I have not yet interacted with any cats, but I was respectfully wagging my tail at the cat we saw at the vet. Foster mom would not let me play with her.

I hang out in my crate when foster mom is gone and I will run into it if you throw a cookie first. At bedtime, I do need a blanket over my crate because I suffer from FOMO, and do not like being on my own if you are in the house and away from me. Once I’m covered with a blanket, I settle right down.

I have done very well on walks, and I’m not reactive to other animals. I am incredibly food motivated, so training me should hopefully be a breeze. I have learned some basic commands.

Chew toys are the BEST thing ever- marrow bones are my favorite! I am still learning, so I do sometimes chew things I’m not supposed to, but I redirect very quickly, and you can even take things right out of my mouth!

Foster mom says that at this point I am probably 85% potty trained, I have not had any accidents in the last few days, but I had a little bit of regression because we discovered I do not like going outside when it is pouring rain.

I love my playtime, but I’m also happy to sit and chill with you on the couch. If you are looking for a fun cuddle bug, I am your girl! Fill out an application with Rescued Rascals so we can meet! -Peps
