NIMA's Story

If you’re looking for a dog who starts off a little unsure but turns into a full-blown goofball, meet Nima—a sensitive soul with a very silly side (and a ruggedly handsome streak). Nima came from a hoarding situation, so the world can feel scary at first. In the shelter, he was very shut down and fearful, but in foster he warmed up quickly and started showing his true personality. He *loves* his people and absolutely LOVES to play—he’s a goofy boy who would enjoy a canine playmate of any size (his current foster buddy is a 50lb bully mix). Nima can still get nervous in new situations and has some “stranger danger,” so he’ll need a patient home that lets him adjust at his own pace. He currently lives with dogs, cats, and a preschooler. He’s learning that cats aren’t for chasing (even if they seem to start it), and he’s wary of young kids—he’d do best with older children who respect his space or in an adult-only home. He’d love to sleep in bed with you, though he’s still figuring out how to fully relax. He’s somewhat housebroken—he’ll go potty outside, but often chooses to poop indoors. The good news? He’s very food motivated and eager to learn. Oh—and Nima sports an old injury over his eye that gives him a little “John Wayne” edge, adding just the right amount of rugged charm to his goofy personality. Nima may take a little time to settle in, but once he does, you’ll get a playful, loyal, and wonderfully goofy companion.

Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region's Adoption Policy
You’ll notice each pet will have an info card attached to their kennel with an ID number. Write down this ID number so a matchmaker can give you more information. You will also be asked to complete an adopter survey to help our matchmakers assist you in finding a new pet that’s just the right fit. We limit visitations to two pets per family, per day. This ensures everyone interested in adopting has the opportunity to spend time with their potential new family member. Puppies and kittens 5 months and younger are not able to visit before going home for adoption. Please speak with a staff member for details. Once your visit is complete, you will meet with a customer service representative. We will review any special medical or behavior information and offer tips on how to help you get settled in. Please bring a photo ID and review any pet restrictions that may exist within your lease/rental agreement, HOA bylaws, or city’s ordinances.
