Nicoise

Hi, I'm Nicoise, a tiny ball of joy right now but don't let my small size fool you! They think I'm a Belgian Shepherd Malinois mixed with Black Mouth Cure so I'm going to be a big girl when I grow up! I'm a bit timid when we first meet, but give me a moment and I'll soon be your shadow, always by your side. I adore playtime; there's nothing better than a good game of fetch or a tug-of-war match. Afterward, I love nothing more than to snuggle up close and enjoy a good cuddle. My sweetness shines through in everything I do. I was born in a run down shelter in rural Louisiana. One day Momma and all 7 puppies got out and we were on the run. Me and my siblings were found hiding under a building nearby but Momma was nowhere to be found. The Rescue who saved us had also planned on taking Momma but she was not caught in time to make our transport and she is still on the run to this day. I was born in early September 2024 and I have received my first round of 3 sets of vaccinations, am microchipped and will be spayed when I am 6 months old. I looking for a forever home where I can share all the love and playfulness I have to offer. Adopt me and let's create beautiful memories together. This sweetheart is ready for a forever home! Please note: as with most rescue puppies, we have no way to guarantee this puppy’s breed or size potential.
