Meet nicholas
Nicholas (born 12/24/2021) is a 17 pound, gray and black Shih Tzu mix who was cruelly abandoned. A construction worker noticed a pet carrier unattended on a street corner and thought he saw something moving. He opened it up to find Nicholas shivering. It was about 18 degrees outside. The man brought him to us and we took Nicholas in for adoption.
Nicholas was in critical condition. All of his hair was missing and the skin on his entire body, including his paws, was raw and bleeding. Our doctors diagnosed a serious skin and ear infection, which was so painful he growled when you tried to touch him.
We have been treating him for multiple ailments while slowly gaining his trust. He came in terribly frightened, severely malnourished, not neutered and had a hernia.
After a couple of months, Nicholas looks and acts like a new dog. His hair has grown back in, his ears have cleared up and we got him strong enough to have both surgeries.
When meeting new people, especially tall men, Nicholas is still tentative, but now that he is feeling better, he is doing much better. Housebroken, he enjoys going for walks, playing with his toys and all of the attention he gets form those he knows and gets to know.
We really appreciate that you want to give a shelter animal a home. The Humane Society of New York was founded in 1904. The Vladimir Horowitz/Wanda Toscanini Horowitz Adoption Center is a no-kill shelter. Our on-site clinic and staff of skilled Veterinarians looks after the health and well-being of every animal here. We also have a great adoption matchmaking team who will gladly take your profile and match you or your pet with just the right cat or dog companion. We start the process once you have submitted an application to us.
