Nickels

~~Although we do our very best to make sure your new pup is in tiptop health before adoption, things could drastically change a month later. Since we don't have a long health history of your adopted dog, we can only treat the pet for whatever symptoms present during the initial exam and follow up exams.~ Health: Experiencing hair loss on his feet and managing low thyroid issues with daily medication. ***** No obvious health issues found during vet exam ***** Temperament: Meet Nickels, the absolute sweetest and best-natured little boy who is a true social butterfly! This charming 12-year-old, 7lb pup gets along with absolutely everyone, including his foster family's cats whom he adores hanging out with during treat times (Nickels never misses a treat opportunity!). While it seems that Nickels may be a little deaf, he miraculously hears treat bags rustling from a mile away. Nickels loves spending time with his humans but also cherishes his "cave time," where he enjoys taking naps under furniture with his tiny legs sticking out. This low-key and quiet little guy relishes cuddling, short walks, and meal times. He particularly enjoys being brushed and fully relaxes into the experience. When Nickels needs to go outside to potty, he will let you know, promptly does his business, and then politely asks to come back inside. While he tolerates being crated, he has shown in his foster home that he is trustworthy and doesn't really need to be crated. Nickels exhibits excellent manners and would likely adapt well to a home with a dog door. As a tiny senior boy, he would thrive in a household with older, gentle children who understand how to be caring and gentle with him. Could you be the loving family that Nickels has been waiting for? -- Where did he come from: Surrendered to the New Braunfels animal shelter Adoption: ***** $400.00 ***** Weight: 7.20 lbs.
