Nico - Pomeranian and Papillon Dog for Adoption in Puyallup, Washington

Nico is a 5-year-old, 14-pound mixed breed. If we had to guess, we'd say he's a Miniature Australian Shepherd/Pomeranian/Papillon mix—but whatever his breed, he's 100% sweetheart.

This gentle boy is ready for the next chapter of his life. Quiet, calm, and incredibly affectionate, Nico is happiest simply being near his people. He has a soft, soulful personality and the kind of loyal, easygoing nature that makes him an exceptional companion.

One thing we can say for certain: the pictures don't do Nico justice. He's even more handsome in person, with a beautiful coat, expressive eyes, and a warm, gentle presence that's hard to capture in photos. Adoption donation: $600
