Nico originally one of two stray puppies that came into Animal Friends care back at the end of January. After his stray hold Nico had been adopted but was recently returned due to the family's landlord no longer allowing dogs on the property. Here is some of what Nico's previous family had to say about him:
- Very friendly pup! He does well meeting new people, though may bark at first or when he wants attention
- Housebroken, does best being taken out multiple times a day
- High energy level, loves playing fetch with tennis balls. Also loves stuffed animals, but will tear them up if not supervised
- Was crated when left home alone
- Responds to the commands sit, paw, other paw, nap time, goodnight, and spin
- He lived with another dog and they were like siblings and did great together
- Lived with a cat and was very sweet and they would groom each other
- Has not spent time around children
- Leash walked when outside
Nico is current on shots, licensed, and microchipped. All dogs over 6 months have been heartworm tested, and all dogs are treated monthly for fleas/ticks and are on Heartworm prevention (NexGard PLUS). All pets are spayed/neutered prior to a finalized adoption. All our dogs receive a behavior assessment before being placed for adoption to determine initial behaviors towards people and other dogs in the shelter environment. If you have questions about an animal please have their name and ID number ready and contact shelter staff by: (1) visiting Animal Friends during our open hours, (2) calling 513-867-5727, or (3) emailing AnimalServices@bcohio.gov.

Breed listings: Please note that Animal Friends recognizes current research showing that the large majority of breed guesses on shelter dogs are inaccurate and that only a small percentage of an animal’s genetics makes up their physical appearance. People visiting the shelter in person or viewing animals on our website will note that all of our dogs are labeled as “Mixed Breeds” unless they have been DNA tested or are surrendered to the shelter with paperwork. Any potential breeds listed here on PetFinder are not assumed to be accurate and are merely a starting point for people to be able to search for a dog who may visually resemble a breed they are interested in. We feel that the best matches are made based on a dog’s individual personality and recommend families come meet our animals in person and/or utilize our Foster to Adopt program to see if that dog is a good fit for their home. Please reach out to Animal Friends team with any questions!
