NICO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Nico Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix
Best Guess for Age: 7 months as of January 2026 SEX: Male
Approximate Weight: 5.6 lbs as of 1/7/26 - he is still growing!
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!
Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.
Nico is Looking For: His forever home! Nico is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. He's eager to get his fresh start with his own humans in the DC area. Sniffy walks, romps, all the adventures in his new setting - yes, please! But you know what he wants most of all? To know he's safe and loved, where he belongs. In exchange he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him down there by your side?
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has spent time in foster care.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog .
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
