Nicholas found himself unwanted, and in a high kill shelter in West Texas.  Nicholas is dog friendly in a residential setting and loves to play and explore in a fenced in yard. He is a bit protective of his yard and runs the perimeter barking at neighbor dogs. Although he listens nicely when called inside he would be better suited in a house that has a tall privacy fence and no cats. He does great with people and kids and is a very happy goofy guy who’s entire back half of his body moves when he wags his tail in excitement. He is crate trained and housebroken and knows basic commands. He will need someone willing to work on leash training due to his protective nature he barks at other dogs and given his strength can be a lot to handle on walks. Nicholas has some arthritis in his front leg but gets around fine. 
Nicholas is a great dog who loves to chase after a ball or toy but also perfectly content snuggling on the couch. He is a very sweet boy that would make someone very happy given the chance.
