Nicholette is extremely petite, only 33 pounds. She is sweet, adorable and so-o-o very affectionate. Nic came to us from the Stanton SPCA in Delaware and it's now her turn to get the attention and love she so deserves.

Nic is a very smart girl and would be quick to learn anything you want to teach her as she is very willing to please, and that is why we’ve chosen to have Nicholette attend Williams Dog Training where she is receiving professional training; she will be housetrained, taught to walk on-leash as well as all her basic commands. Whoever adopts Nicholette can be assured that she’s been well trained, and you will receive three in-home, follow-up training sessions with Williams Dog Training (www.1williamsdog.com). Nicholette is scheduled to be at the Mingle with our Mutts event on Saturday, October 1 where she will be showing off her new training – won’t you come meet her? For more information on this event (and who we are), visit our website www.lostandfounddogrescue.org

Update from Nicholette's Foster Mom:
Nic stole my heart the moment that I found her sitting in our big toy basket just touching the toys, throwing them in the air, and playing with each of them. It's as if she's never had a toy of her own and she is delighted to have such treasures – her delight and wonder are contagious!! When you look into those beautiful brown eyes of hers you'll see right into her sweet soul.

I know this little one is a true treasure, and no one should be concerned about her breed; she is a sweet and loving little dog who wants nothing more then to please you. Nic is so affectionate that she lick's everyone over and over as if we were all ice cream cones. If you are looking for a dog who will make you LAUGH OUT LOUD, then Nic is the girl for you! She would be the perfect girl to grow up with your kids; she hasn't met anyone she doesn't love, and she is every kid’s best friend. Nic gets along wonderfully with all her fellow dog housemates - she is submissive to all our other dogs.

If you are looking for a dog that doesn't shed here is the girl for you; her coat is extremely short but very shiny and she feels like velvet! Nic is a smart, gentle little girl who will show you what its like to be adored. If you need a dog to get those pesky birds and squirrels to move on to someone else’s property, then she is the girl for you! She loves to chase everything, so Nicholette should have a home with a 6-foot privacy fence (or invisible fence in which she has already been trained), and we think it would be best that Nic not live with cats.

If you would like to fill out an application, you must first register on the website and await an e-mailed passcode. Once you have this info, you will be able to access our application.

All L&F dogs/pups are crate & potty trained, temperament tested, have been chosen for sweet & gentle dispositions, have lived in foster homes with families, and have had the following:

SPAYED/NEUTERED

Microchipping

Tested for Heartworm, Lyme, Ehrlichia

On HeartGuard & Frontline Plus

Rabies, Distemper, Parvo vaccines.

Intra Trac ll Kennel Cough

Two De-Worming

No dog 6 months and up will ever leave L&F Dog Rescue without being spayed/neutered. Spay/Neuter is MANDATORY.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not place puppies in homes where no one will be home all day. Puppies, like babies, need lots of attention, socialization and cuddles. We do not feel that it is humane to leave them in a crate for 8-10 hour alone.

If you are applying for an adult dog, we do expect that if no one is home all day, arrangements will be made to provide the dog with at least (1) "potty break" daily, whether it is through a family member, neighbor or petsitting service. We know that it is impossible for us humans to "hold it" for 8-10 hours, so we do not want our "shelter kids" to be expected to do so.

We have several petsitting service companies that we can recommend:

www.homesweethomepetsit.org/ in PA & DE

www.delawarepooperscoopers.com in PA, NJ, & DE

http://www.tlcpetsitting.net/ in MD

We also have a wonderful all day Doggy Day Care service:
Fuzzy Butts Doggy Day Care in Chadds Ford, PA
www.fuzzybuttsPA.com
(I have visited this facility and it is wonderful and reasonable)
