About NICKEL

Nickel's story is one of resilience and hope. Abandoned by his owner when she became pregnant, Nickel found himself alone, confused, and heartbroken at the shelter. Despite this betrayal, he hasn't lost his ability to trust and love. He remains friendly and outgoing with strangers, gentle and affectionate with children, and enjoys being around other dogs-though shelter life has made him uneasy in close quarters with them. In a more comfortable environment, his sociable nature can shine, making him a great candidate for a home with kids or other pets. His high energy and playful spirit make him an ideal adventure buddy, and he's already accustomed to outdoor relief and leash walking, meaning he has a solid foundation to build upon in a loving home. This bright, self-assured pup finds joy in chasing frisbees, wrestling, and playing tug-of-war. He lights up when given squeaky toys and thrives when exploring the outdoors. Nickel's confidence and very affectionate nature prove that, even after heartbreak, he still has so much love to give. He is a devoted friend and loving companion, ready to bond with someone who will never turn their back on him again. While shelter life has been stressful for him, he's ready to step into a home where he can feel safe and secure. Nickel is currently feeling stressed and lonely at the shelter, but the right home will change everything for him. He may need reassurance in new situations, especially during baths and nail trims, but his ability to tolerate handling shows that trust and kindness will help him flourish. It's time for sweet Nickel to find a forever home where he'll be cherished, understood, and given the space to grow. Will you be the one to give Nickel the unconditional love he deserves? Come meet him today and see just how special he truly is. NICKEL, ID# 205775, @ 3 Yrs. & 9 Mos.
