Nickie is a 3 year old pug-awawa (or chug) who is very quiet and mellow.  She gets along well with other dogs, although she doesn't play much, ignores the cats and likes older, considerate kids.  She's a bit shy in new situations but soon warms up.  She enjoys rides in the car and loves her daily walk, so we would need someone who could continue that for her.  Here's what her foster mom says:  " Nickie is the best dog ever!! She’s so gentle with Nico, not even remotely hurting him. She would be a good dog to any family. She would prefer an owner who never leaves her side and once she gets used to people she becomes like a cat, instantly distrustful of anyone new."   Her adoption fee is $125 and includes all medical.
