Meet Nickel

Meet Nickel! DOB: January 2026Weight: 35 lbs (full grown)Disposition: Playful, Fun-loving, OutgoingHistory: Rescued from Barstow Humane by TBL in April 2026 when she was at risk of euthanasia due to an upper respiratory infection. Can we all take a moment to appreciate how adorable Nickel is? Between his ears that seem to point in every direction and his adorable cow-spotted coat, this little guy is off the charts on the cuteness scale. But Nickel is much more than a handsome face—he has the sweetest, happiest personality to match. At just 12 weeks old, Nickel is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog, around 30–40 pounds. While we're not exactly sure what breeds make up this unique pup, he could be a pocket pittie, a pointer mix, or something entirely his own. Whatever his breed, one thing is certain: he's going to be a stunning dog. Like any young puppy, Nickel will need the training, patience, and guidance that come with welcoming a baby dog into your home. He's affectionate, playful, well-balanced, and eager to please, making him a great fit for many different types of families. He'll thrive with plenty of exercise, socialization, and positive reinforcement. A home with another friendly dog or opportunities for regular playdates would be a huge plus! Nickel would make a wonderful family companion and should do well with respectful children who understand his young age and small size. He's the perfect mix of sweet, silly, and affectionate—and he's guaranteed to bring endless smiles, laughter, and puppy kisses. If you're ready to add a little happy chaos to your life, Nickel may be your perfect match.
