About Nico

Adoption Fee: $50
Lab / German Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Nico needs a new home. We love him dearly, but our son has developed a dog dander allergy and has very reactive airways. Where: Richmond but we will drive pretty far Rehoming fee: $90 Available to a Rescue: Yes Female or Male and BREED: Male Lab Mix / Sheprador (German Shepher x Lab) Age and Weight: 3 years and approx 75 lbs He's neutered, micro chipped, and up to date on shots. He's great with kids. He's wonderful with our son who is now 2, and has been around him since our son was brought home from the hospital. Nico is not good with cats. He is good with medium and large dogs but tends to chase small dogs so we do not recommend a home with small dogs for Nico. Very high energy. He loves fetch immensely. He definitely needs to live in a home with a yard, and he would do best with regular walks and frequent exercise. He is very very smart and would thrive with someone who wants to train some commands. He just knows sit, drop it, off, down, etc. but could learn tons more! Nico is leash reactive meaning that he barks and pulls on the leash when passing other dogs while on leash. We've been told this is likely a behavior that can be resolved with positive reinforcement training, but we haven't worked on it with him. He is also fence reactive, so he does bark when other dogs are passing by the yard. He makes for an awesome guard dog in this respect. He does not bark incessantly otherwise, just when dogs are passing by He is such an awesome dog. Super smart, loving, and adorable. Really just wants to play fetch forever and always and follow you around and lay at your feet. You will always feel loved and be loved with Nico by your side.
