Nico

Hi Everyone… I’m Nico. This is kinda hard for me, I’m not that comfortable with public speaking or meeting new people. I’m working hard at improving and my Mom & Dad have helped a lot. My Dad first saw me on the Whatcom Humane Society’s website and they came out to meet me. We went on some walks and they saw how I relaxed a bit when I was away from the shelter. Like I said everyone at Tails-A-Wagging has been working hard with me with my confidence at home and at “school” . I’m very happy with the way things have worked out for me. I have great parents who love me (and have clothes I love to sniff and root in, especially my Dad’s stinky hockey gear). I have my favorite toy “Bunny”. We play fetch with him, he’s stuffed and fuzzy and I love to rip off his ears and eyes. This probably wont shock you but I love food. I’m a Labrador, food, running, food, Cats, Cat food, other dogs, other dogs food. So that’s always an icebreaker with me. Give me a cookie and we are well on the way to being friends.

Oh, ya… My Mom & Dad wanted me to say “My Mom, Dad and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has and is helping me to become the dog I’ve always dreamt of being! From the Whatcom Humane Society and Tails-A-Wagging to Fountain Vet and lots of encouraging friends…thank you!” Do I get a cookie now?

If your dog had a major in college what would it be?

Culinary Arts, track and Forestry…you know, dogs, trees, etc…

If you wrote a personal ad… what would it say?

Tall, dark and handsome one and a half year old, (I’m a little nervous at first meetings, but, um, mature for my age), male Lab, would like to make friends and influence those w/treats to go and rescue other dogs and, uh, even cats because life really is good! Will also work for food!
