Nico arrived with his housemate Henry on 6/22/25. Previously adopted from NCCR, they were returned when their owner passed away. Nico is an approximately 5 ½-year-old neutered male Labrador mix. He is dog, cat, & child-friendly. Nico is crate trained and used to being crated when left alone. He will bark to alert you to visitors. Their owner’s family describes him as friendly and outgoing, playful, and energetic; he loves to play outdoors & will fetch a ball or squeaky toy. Nico’s companion, Henry, has been adopted, so Nico is hoping his turn will be soon!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Nico is sponsored by Amy Courtine in memory of Izzy, Melford Swanson, David and Nancy DeLand, Jellybean (former NCCR resident) and Doodlebug Parker, Diane Mogavero, and Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron. Thank you everyone!
