Description
Handsome Nico was surrendered to another rescue in the south as his family felt that they could not provide him with the life he deserved. Due to an overwhelming number of dogs needing rescue right now, the other rescue asked MAGSR if he could be transferred. As working together helps save lives, we were happy to welcome Nico to the MAGSR family.
Nico is your typical young GSD. He is active, intelligent, and full of energy. It is clear that Nico was well socialized with other people and loves everyone. As is true of all young dogs, Nico is looking for a home that will help him exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. Nico has lived in a home and has already learned the many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, he will need time to adjust to the structure and routines of his forever family. Training will go a long way with Nico. Not only will training help him develop a healthy relationship with his forever family. It will also help Nico develop into a stable and confident adult. Nico is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Updates
Nico is a sweetheart with plenty of puppy energy. He has loved having the company of our 40 pound mixed breed female and has done great around other dogs - interested, but no negative reactivity. He has also been around young kids and a cat without any problems. Nico loves to be outside, give kisses, snuggle on the couch, chew collagen bones, and play tug of war. He is housebroken, crate-trained, and sleeps through the night in his crate. He is currently working on fetch with the frisbee and ball and is also learning commands such as sit, wait, out, heel, gentle, down, and no. He is adorable, but also can be a bit puppy-ish and stubborn sometimes, so training, structure, consistency, and having outlets for his energy will go a long way to help Nico flourish into the incredible dog that he has the potential to be.
