Meet Nino, a 9-month-old pup who is looking for a quiet place to land. At a sturdy but manageable 27 pounds, he is truly the perfect size; while he might have a tiny bit of growing left to do, he is already the ideal companion for both brisk walks and long afternoon naps. The hustle and bustle of shelter life has been a lot for Nino to take in, and he often feels overwhelmed by the noise and constant activity. However, he recently enjoyed a much-needed Shelter Skip Day, and his true personality blossomed the moment he stepped through the front door of a home. His companion for the day was delighted to report that Nino relaxed almost instantly, trading his nervous energy for a spot on the furniture. It turns out that Nino is a professional-grade couch potato at heart. Once he feels safe in a calm environment, his favorite activity is simply being near his people and soaking up the comforts of home life. He is a gentle, sweet boy who just needs a patient family to show him that the world isn't such a scary place after all. If you have a soft spot on your sofa and a quiet corner in your heart, Nino is waiting to fill them both.
