About dogs named Nico

The following are 30 profiles of dogs named Nico from our database of 163 dogs with the name Nico.

• “I love to run and play, but I don't like other dogs. I can be pretty nasty to other dogs and, therefore, need to be in my own space.“

  — Patty M.

• “Hi I’m Nico! I love all dogs! I love to be chased, and play tug of war. I love rolling in the grass and sunbathing on hot days, or snuggling up in my parents bed when it’s too cold out.“

  — Taylor C.

• “Nico is a 7 month old corgi puppy. She used to be a little scared during puppy plays but has now become more confident having socialized with multiple well mannered adult dogs and attended more group classes with different types of dogs around. We’d love to find her a playmate to continue work on her appropriate play and also get some of her energy out since we also have a senior dog at home who she loves to play with.“

  — Can C.

• “Hi, I’m Nico! I’m a 1-year-old rescue pup from Mexico with a big personality, endless energy, and a face that’s pretty hard to resist. I’m a professional fetch player, tug-of-war champion, and backyard digging enthusiast. I even took down a mole once… so you could say I have some serious hunting skills! 😂 I love to romp, run, sniff, dig, and explore. Fair warning: I’m still working on my manners! I can be reactive to some dogs, people, and cars, and when I get excited or unsure, I might jump, nip, or get a little mouthy. I’m a work in progress, so I do best with plenty of space, a little patience, and room to burn off my ridiculous amount of energy. I’m adorable, adventurous, occasionally mischievous, and always ready for my next big adventure. Bring on the sniffing and zoomies! 🐾“

  — Julie B.

• “Young puppy energy, but stoic and mellow for being a Golden. Cuddly as can be!“

  — Shelby G.

• “I’m a toddler puppy that’s super tiny but a bundle of energy and love my big brother“

  — Lee A.

• “I’m a big goofy Great Dane that gets tired easily. I love to make new friends and little dogs actually scare me! I can play rough so my mom is always with me to be sure i don’t play with anyone too small for my size. I mainly like to just lay down in the grass or wrestle with dogs my size!“

  — Francesca D.

• “Nico is a 2 year old Doberman. He loves to run and play and he minds well. He had a bad experience as a pup at the dog park and is now fearful and needs a slow careful introduction to new dogs“

  — Jill S.

• “I’m a crazy little guy still learning the ropes as I get older. I’m 9 months old and live with my mom and big sister Gemma who is a 7 year old mixed-breed, rescue. I like to chew and pick up EVERYTHING I find on the ground, food or not! I went to puppy training to learn basic commands but my school shut down and I have only been able to continue with what mom knows how to teach me. We live in an apartment complex where we do have a dog park but I don’t get to go as often as I want to because my sister has reactivity issues. I have a ton of energy, am very food driven, and I get excited when I see squirrels. I can’t wait to be off leash in a fenced in area to run to the max!“

  — Rebecca F.

• “Nico is a 6 month old lab that loves cheese and the pool. He has enough energy to last him a lifetime but also loves taking his naps in the sun.“

  — Valeria P.

• “I rescued Nico as a pup in Feb 2023. He's a mix of GSD, APBT, rottweiler, lab, and catahoula leopard dog. He's my best friend! ❤️“

  — Stephanie J.

• “Nico is 25 pound french bulldog. He has the energy of a German shepherd and loves to run around and sniff every corner.“

  — Daniela S.

• “I love my outings my people take me on. I love different smells and seeing other dogs and farm animals. I wished I lived in a farm and gave goats and sheep a run for their money.“

  — Heidi C.

• “Nico is dog reactive/fearful due to being attacked by off leash dogs multiple times. We prefer solo outings or with well known safe dog friends.“

  — Elizabeth S.

• “High energy Shepherd/Mastiff mix who loves to smell all the things, run and wrestle. I may be big but I’m really just a big chicken.“

  — Shawna H.
