Hello! My name is Nico. I'm a Havapoo (Havanese and Poodle)with maybe a bit of something else mixed in. I am probably about a year old and still very much a puppy. I weigh 13 pounds and am as large as I will get. I am working on the housetraining thing. I use the doggy door but I think it is more of a game. I do very well if I am reminded to go outside. (Remember I'm still a puppy.)

I am active and would love a home with kids or someone who will give me a good long walk. I love to snuggle, get ear rubs and chase toys. I am still learning to return a thrown toy. I would love a home where I'm an only dog because I want to be the center of attention. I do get along with other dogs. I don't have an opinion on kids or cats. I've not been around either at my current foster home. I think I would like older kids who want to play with me.

Nico is afraid of being kenneled. After several attempts to introduce him to a crate we are convinced he has had a pretty bad or traumatic experience in the past. As fearful as he is, we seriously doubt he will overcome his fear but possibly in time he might forget. If crating is important to you, this is not the guy for you.

My foster mom says I'm really sweet and a love bug. Is there a place in your home and heart for me? If you want to meet me, please fill out an application.

Adoption Fee $400

** Please note: Due to their size, our dogs are not suitable for homes with children under 5..

We do not have a facility, all dogs are fostered in the homes of our volunteers. If you are interested in adopting a dog from Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and other Petite Paws, please visit our website at www.lilpaws-malteserescue.org and fill out an adoption application. This is the first step in our adoption process. Our goal is to place our dogs in safe, stable and loving homes in the Austin Metropolitan area. Thanks for looking!

Lil' Paws Maltese Rescue and other Petite Paws depends on donations to keep the dogs in our program healthy. Many health issues are taken care of before a dog leaves a rescue: spaying, neutering, immunizations, dental care, and in some cases major surgery. Because of the cost of this care, donations are essential to enable us to continue our work. If you would like to show appreciation for what we do and help us continue to do it please go to our website homepage and click the donate button. We thank you in advance for your support.
