Nico is one of those stray dogs who understands what it’s like to spend his days in the cold, yearning for the help he so urgently needs. Hungry and lonely, she peered into oblivion with a sad expression on her lovely face.

Fortunately, Donna Lochmann, an experienced animal rescuer at the Missouri shelter, came to her rescue.

Her heart broke the moment she noticed the dog sitting in front of a family home, its sorrowful eyes fixated on the road. He was so skinny that his ribs were clearly apparent. The dog’s face brightened up as Lochmann met him.

He immediately began wagging his little tail and walked towards her, head down. It was as if he knew right immediately that she was there to help him. Lochmann discovered that his back paw was wounded.

She hugged the cute dog, who got tender in her arms. As she caressed him, the dog rested his head on her leg, relieved to be shown kindness and love. He’d waited so long for this moment.

Lochmann led him to his car. The beautiful dog was ecstatic and couldn’t stop wagging his tail.

The wife cuddled with him, while the dog lay on the mother-in-law seat. Nico finally felt safe, and he absorbed his savior’s affection.

Nico immediately stole the hearts of all the shelter staff as soon as he arrived. Her shelter buddies showered her with love and hugs. Nico was pleased to be surrounded by loving people. The wonderful pooch felt at ease since he knew they would help him recuperate.

Nico will be ready to transition to a foster family once he has received the necessary care.

We are excited to see her gain weight and become a joyful dog who lives life to the fullest. We have no doubt that Nico will soon steal the hearts of his heirs, who will adore him.
