Sweet and affectionate young boy looking for his forever home.
Perfetto! Bello! Magnifico!
Hi, I'm Nicky. I don't speak Italian, but those words mean perfect! handsome! and magnificent! - and my foster mommy says they describe me perfectly. Well....most of the time, anyway!
I was surrendered to a rural shelter for nothing that I did wrong - I was one too many dogs in the house, so out I went. I was so terrified in the shelter, and fortunately, the staff knew I wasn't doing well there and reached out to local rescues. So now I am living with my foster mommy and daddy and their two siblings, and I am so happy. I love our morning and evening walks, the good food, having a nice soft bed to sleep on, playing with my foster sister, and all the loving cuddles, kisses and snuggles I get. I hope when I find my very own forever home, it will be this wonderful.
I am a male American Eskimo and estimated to be about 3 years old. I am neutered, heart worm negative, and have no known medical issues. And I am beautiful......I look just like a white arctic fox. I am very smart - I learned my name in just a few days. I get along well with dogs that I know - not sure about cats, but my mommy says I have a pretty high prey drive - so I might want to chase them, like I do the the lizards on the lanai and the squirrels. I really want to catch a squirrel. I haven't been around any children in my new home, but mommy thinks I would be fine around older ones.
As perfect as I am inside the house, mommy says I need to work on my outside manners, and that I would benefit going to a basic training class. What??? That sounds awful! Mommy is working on "sit" and "stay" with me, and I do sit for my breakfast and dinner now. She says where I need the most work is in my outdoor socialization skills. I suppose I do lunge at things that are moving, and I'm not very friendly to strange dogs we see on the street, and I hate, hate, HATE bicycle riders and will try to nip at them if given the chance. Oh, oh.....that doesn't sound very good, does it? I guess I DO need some work on my outside manners......
I really love to run and miss being able to do this. My ideal forever home would have a fenced in yard, where I could run and maybe chase lizards or squirrels. I am uncomfortable at dog parks, so we don't go those right now. I need a firm, but patient and loving owner who will take me on long walks and work with me on my outdoor leash and social skills. I can do better, I promise. Mommy says she is already seeing improvement in just a few days.
I sure hope you are interested in hearing more about me and that you will want to meet me - you won't be sorry! I am in Bradenton, FL. Please email my foster mommy at dyanlaphan@aol.com.
Ciao!.......Nicky
