Let’s Make Home Happen for Nico!
Nico defies stereotypes. At 8 years old, he has the energy of a younger dog. He is medium sized, but thinks he’s a lap dog. He is a friendly, social boy who enjoys exploring city streets and open spaces as much as he loves snuggling on the couch. He is looking for his best friend, fellow adventurer and snuggle-buddy. Nico is also a bit of a social media darling thanks to his foster dad, starring in his own TikTok video and appearing on IGTV (Instagram). Nico is available for foster or adoption.
During the COVID-19 state of emergency, the DCSPCA adoption process has changed. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Nico, or any of our other available pets, please visit www.dcspca.org After choosing a pet and submitting the online application, you must make an appointment to meet the pet you want to adopt. You can also find updates and resources for pet owners during the pandemic on the website and the DCSPCA Facebook page.
