HOW DID NICKY GET HERE?
Nicky came to us when his previous owners were no longer able to care for his needs. This sweet senior is ready to find a quiet, understanding home where he can enjoy his golden years.

* Very affectionate with the people he knows and trusts
* Enjoys attention and seeks out affection from his favourite people
* Walks nicely on leash and enjoys getting out for strolls
* Good in the car
* Knows "sit" and responds well to his name
* An older gentleman who appreciates having his space respected
* Sensitive to handling, especially around his ears and during grooming or veterinary care
* House trained with regular bathroom breaks

WHAT TYPE OF HOME IS NICKY LOOKING FOR?
* Experienced home comfortable reading dog body language
* Everyone in the home 16+ (no young children)
* Would prefer to be the only dog, though the right home could slowly introduce him to a compatible dog
* Could live with a dog-savvy cat
* A patient family committed to training and helping him feel comfortable with handling
