More about Nicolas

A SWEET & SHY FELLOW:  Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 59 lbs. Hi there, I’m Nicolas! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’m so happy to be safe and loved while I wait for my furever family.  I got to spend some time in a wonderful foster home and was adopted for about 10 days, but it wasn’t a good fit, so I’m back with Mostly Mutts and ready to meet my furever family!  I spent some time in the prison/foster training program and learned a lot!    • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and am learning to play with them, so if you have a nice dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a super sweet boy who just needs a little time and patience to feel safe so I can blossom!  I can be a bit timid indoors, but once I’m outside with the volunteers, I really come alive - I love to roll in the grass, play in the play yard and do my funny little army crawl!  I was a little unsure entering the Paw Spa, but I did great for my bath, even preferring to lie down while my tail wagged the whole time.  I can be nervous at first in new situations, so I’ll need my furever family to be patient with me as I settle into my new home.  In my former foster home, with a little time and patience, I settled in and was soon described as “sweet and gentle!”  I’m a very strong chewer and sometimes get into things that aren’t mine – oops – so please pick up your things and give me some nice, strong chew toys and bones that I know are mine.  I’m friendly, sweet, and happy – just a gentle soul looking for love. / Energy Level: 4-6.       • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I'm a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where so far I have learned the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’, ‘drop it’, ‘leave it’ and ‘place’ commands.  I also use proper door etiquette and accept nice strangers without jumping.  I look forward to learning even more!   / I did well at Mostly Mutts with my crate as well as in the prison/foster training program where I let out one or two whines before settling down quickly.  I got into a few things when I was left out of my crate, so just keep this in mind as I’m settling into my new home.  / My former adoptive family reported that my potty manners were good on their schedule, and I did well in my former foster home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I enjoy soft head pets and the company of someone who will sit quietly with me.  I like running, strong chew toys, snacks, exploring and playing fetch.  Rolling in grass and just being outside together in general is great fun for me, so I’d likely enjoy a fenced yard and a family that will spend lots of time outdoors with me.  I’m sure we will discover even more things we enjoy doing together as I settle into my new home. / Sudden movements startle me and I don’t like being alone too much.  I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered.  I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I’m looking for a wonderful family to love and be loved by.  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
