Nico

Nico is a 1 year old Patterdale Terrier with bags of personality, and a charming character! Whether it’s heading off on a countryside adventure, sniffing out every interesting smell on a walk, or jumping in the car for a road trip, Nico is happiest when he’s by your side. He’s a brilliant traveller, walks beautifully on the lead and is happy meeting new people, even the vet. Even though he has been enjoying exploring, Nico can be a little unsure of new situations, it seems clear he hasn’t seen much of the world before, so he’s looking for a family who’ll help him discover that new places and experiences aren’t so scary. With a little patience, encouragement and plenty of treats, we’re sure his confidence will continue to blossom.

Nico has missed out on some of the basics in life, so he’ll need someone happy to continue his training. He’s a clever young lad who enjoys learning and has so much potential. With positive training and a bit of consistency, he’s going to make someone an amazing companion. He would like his family to be around most of the time whilst he settles in to then build up time alone slowly. As with many young Patterdales, Nico is active, playful and always up for a game! He could happily live with older children who are used to lively dogs, although he can get a little overexcited and occasionally forgets that jumping up isn’t always appreciated!

Nico is also a bit of a budding Houdini, so he’ll need a secure garden where he can play safely without plotting his next great escape. He’d like to be the only dog in the home for now while he continues working on his social skills, and he says no thank you to cats or other small furry pets. If you think Nico is the right addition to your life you will gain a loyal little shadow who’s always ready for the next adventure and guaranteed to make you laugh along the way.
