Notes from It's The Pits
Looking for the perfect companion? Nicholas might just be the one! This sweet boy has made amazing progress and is ready to find his forever home through It’s The Pits. Here's why Nicholas will steal your heart:
Super Snuggler: Nicholas loves to cuddle! He sleeps in bed with his foster family, head on the pillow, and heart full of love.
Playful Pup: He’s great with other dogs, respects boundaries, and loves to play! Plus, he's got the cutest habit of tossing his food bowl when he’s ready for dinner.
Adventure Buddy: Nicholas adores car rides and long walks, making him the perfect partner for exploring! He’s learning leash walking like a pro and his confidence grows every day.
Silly & Smart: This funny guy loves grabbing the end of the toilet paper roll for a quick race (don’t worry, it’s too cute to be mad about). He learned how to sit in just seconds—imagine all the tricks you could teach him!
Shy But Sweet: Though a little reserved outside the house, Nicholas warms up quickly and loves meeting new people. At home, he’s a social butterfly, always excited to meet everyone!
He’s truly the best of both worlds: energetic yet calm and loving.
Nicholas is growing into the most wonderful dog—smart, loving, and full of personality.
If interested in adopting a puppy, you must be local to San Diego County, Murrieta or Temecula, and have a private yard or large patio area that is securely fenced with a minimum height of 5 feet, as puppies are not fully vaccinated.
