The Longmont Humane Society has announced its Pet of the Week for November 22, 2025, featuring a remarkable dog named NicoNico. After spending an impressive 594 days in the shelter’s care, NicoNico has captured the hearts of staff and volunteers alike, showcasing his unique personality and resilience.
From Shyness to Companionship
At just four years old, NicoNico is described as a loyal and food-motivated dog who has made significant strides since his arrival. Initially wary of new people, particularly men, he has shown remarkable progress in building trust. Staff members note that he was once hesitant around strangers but is now much more receptive, particularly when offered treats like cheese balls or cookies.
Volunteers have affectionately labeled NicoNico as goofy, gentle, and exceptionally smart. His charming, squishy face has proven to be irresistible to those who meet him. As he warms up to new friends, NicoNico reveals his affectionate nature, enjoying quiet moments and demonstrating his impressive leash skills.
Seeking a Loving Home
NicoNico thrives outside the confines of the shelter and is looking for a forever home where he can be the only pet. His independent spirit and eagerness to learn make him an ideal companion for someone willing to provide patience and kindness. With a steady supply of treats and gentle encouragement, he is poised to become a devoted friend.
The Longmont Humane Society encourages potential adopters to consider NicoNico. He represents not just a pet but the opportunity to welcome a loving companion into their lives. As the shelter continues to care for animals in need, stories like NicoNico’s highlight the importance of patience and understanding in helping pets find their way to loving homes.
For those interested in adopting or learning more about NicoNico, the Longmont Humane Society is available for inquiries. This inspiring story serves as a reminder of the transformative power of love and the bond between humans and animals.
