As of November 22, 2025, the Longmont Humane Society has named NicoNico as its featured Pet of the Week, bringing attention to a dog that has captured hearts during his extended stay. After spending 594 days in the shelter’s care, this four-year-old canine has evolved into a remarkable companion, known for his loyalty and intelligence.
A Journey of Transformation
NicoNico’s journey began with challenges. Initially wary of new people, particularly men, he struggled to feel safe around strangers. His time at the shelter, however, has led to significant progress. Volunteers describe him as goofy, gentle, and exceptionally smart. His adorable, squishy face adds to his charm, making him hard to resist.
Thanks to the dedication of staff and volunteers, NicoNico has learned to trust again. While he was once hesitant, he now warms up quickly, especially when treats like cheese balls or cookies are involved. This transformation has allowed him to showcase his affectionate nature, which staff members and volunteers cherish.
The Ideal Home for NicoNico
NicoNico is eager to find a home where he can thrive, ideally with no other pets. His independent spirit and eagerness to learn make him a unique companion. He enjoys quiet time, snuggling, and demonstrating how well he walks on a leash, displaying both his character and potential as a devoted pet.
With the right combination of patience, kindness, and a steady supply of treats, NicoNico is poised to become a loving addition to someone’s life. The Longmont Humane Society encourages potential adopters to recognize the wonderful dog NicoNico truly is, waiting for that special someone to bring him home.
