Nick

My story

Nick is a happy 1-2 yr old Maltese mix who weighs about 11 lbs. Nick is playful and fun but is not hyper.  He does love to race around the backyard for a few minutes each day.  He is good at entertaining himself in the house but also would let you throw a toy for him for as long as you are willing.  Nick sleeps very well in his crate overnight.  He would enjoy another small dog who likes to play gently but would probably be too much for a senior dog.  He is good for baths and grooming and has such an all-around nice demeanor.  He is very fast around doorways, so he is best suited for a home where his family can use barriers to block him from open doorways. He is not a dog for a senior citizen.   Nick is crate-trained and doing well on house training but not completely house-trained. He squats when he pees, so he is a young dog and not a "marker." Nick could be an only dog or have another dog under 15 pounds in the home.   The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN.  If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com.  There is an application process and adoption fee.  WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD. The secure fence must be 4ft or higher, with gaps no greater than 2 inches, and attached to the home - meaning you have an inside door that opens into the fenced yard. An invisible fence, enclosed patio, terrace or deck, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions.  We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business.  Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports.  Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing.  Adoption Fee: $500March 10, 2025, 5:32 pm
