My name is Nicholas!

Meet Nicholas – Your Sweet Senior Companion!

Nicholas is a 12-year-old Chihuahua who will melt your heart with his adoring gaze and quiet charm. This little gentleman is low maintenance, spending most of his time cozying up in his favorite bed or relaxing near his human. He sleeps soundly through the night and enjoys a peaceful, predictable routine.

Nicholas gets along well with other dogs and walks nicely on a leash, making him a great companion for strolls around the neighborhood. However, he can be possessive of his treats, chew bones, and bed, but these behaviors are easily managed with redirection. Like many Chihuahuas, he sometimes reacts with a big bark when startled by other dogs or loud noises, but his reactions are harmless and stop quickly with a firm “no.”

Due to his limited vision and a strong preference for familiar faces, Nicholas can be reactive to strangers trying to pet him. He needs a patient, dog-savvy adopter who understands his boundaries. For this reason, he is best suited to a home with no children. Once Nicholas bonds with his person, he becomes a loving and devoted companion who will look at you with endless adoration.

Nicholas may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’ll reward your patience with loyalty and affection. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key senior to share your life, Nicholas could be the one for you!
