Background: If we could use just one word to describe Nick Charles it would be “happy” with capital, bold letters! Nick Charles has a very sweet, playful disposition and has a joy for life that is contagious. He is very exuberant and boisterous and loves to play and act silly. It’s impossible not to have a smile on your face when you spend time with him. He especially loves toys and will zoom around your legs when he is really excited. He does well with other dogs, but his exuberance can be a little overwhelming for some dogs. He will do best with a confident canine companion who can keep up with him. Nick Charles has an enzyme deficiency in his pancreas, the result of which is an inability to properly digest and absorb his food. He is on a special medication twice a day that helps him digest his food, so his new family will need to continue his regimen.

You can meet Nick Charles and many other lovable pets at the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway in Escondido. The Escondido Humane Society Adoption Center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.
