Meet Nick - a quiet, loyal companion who's looking for the right person to call his own.Nick is a low-energy, affectionate dog who truly thrives on connection. He's very much a "shadow dog," happiest when he can follow his person from room to room and curl up close whenever possible. Snuggling is his favorite pastime, and he even sleeps in bed with his foster at night. While he enjoys going for walks, he's not a marathon kind of guy and prefers a relaxed pace.

Nick does well with other dogs and would actually do best in a home with a canine companion, as he doesn't like being alone. He gets along great with dogs in his foster home and finds comfort in having another dog around. He is also cat friendly, showing more indifference than interest, and has coexisted peacefully with a cat in a previous home.

He is close to being fully potty trained and is already doing very well with routine. Nick reliably goes pee when taken outside and can hold it all night without needing to go out. He typically poops once a day, and if his schedule is off he may have an accident indoors, but with consistency and time he continues to improve.

Nick cannot be crated, as confinement causes him significant distress and vocalizing. Fortunately, he is not destructive and does well being left out in the home. Because he can be vocal when stressed, a house rather than an apartment would be the best environment for him.

When it comes to people, Nick bonds deeply with one main person. He would do best in an adult-only home or with older children (12 and up). While he can tolerate kids being around, he's not a playful, family-style dog and may growl when uncomfortable, especially with new people entering his space. He's best suited for someone who understands dog body language and values a calm, predictable home.

Nick is learning to enjoy enrichment like Kongs and lick mats and would love a home that provides him with chew toys and gentle mental stimulation. A person who is home most of the time would be an ideal match, as Nick truly shines when he has companionship and routine.
