Nicot Shepherd Mix Fayetteville, NC

Hi there, I'm Nicot, a 2-year-old black and tan Shepherd mixed breed. I'm looking for a patient and loving family who will help me overcome my fears and trust issues. I'm a very happy and active boy who loves to play with other dogs. I have a lot of friends in my foster home, like Mimi, Fiona, Loki, and Lexi. They are my pack and I feel safe with them.

I don't like to be on a leash or away from my home, but I'm slowly learning to be more socialized and confident. I will crate well when it's time to sleep, and I will take a treat from your hand if you're gentle, kind and give me some time to trust you. I was found as a malnourished stray when I was 6 months old (photo included), but I'm much healthier and stronger now. I weigh about 35 pounds and I'm a handsome boy. I have not been around kids or cats in foster care, but I'm good with other dogs and can be cat tested if you’d like. Older kids who can understand my need for space until I can trust, are required if there will be kids in the home.

I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm-free. I'm being fostered in Hampton, VA but I can be transported to meet you if you're the right match for me. You must be 21 or older to apply, and you must be willing to be very patient with me. If you think you can be my forever family, fill out an application today! I can't wait to meet you!
