Pet Of The Week Meet the Sweet Nick!

June 30, 2025

Nick is a pint-sized bundle of joy with a larger-than-life personality. Although he may seem shy and a little nervous at first, once he knows he can trust you, Nick will become your loyal shadow and best mate. He loves cuddling up close, but is always respectful of your space.

Nick thrives on socialising and is great with both his feline and canine foster siblings. He loves making new doggo friends (you should see the zoomies), heading off on beach days or running free at the dog park. When the adventures are done, Nick is also a big fan of lazy Sundays spent snuggled on the couch or soaking up the sunshine.

He already knows basic commands and responds well to "no", easily adding more skills to his companionable repertoire. With his sweet and affectionate nature, Nick is sure to bring joy, laughter and lots of love to any home lucky enough to welcome him. All he asks is a patient, gentle home where he can continue to blossom and shine.

To meet Nick, just fill out an enquiry form at: www.angelpawsinc.com.au/forms.html
