About Nicholas aka Ray Charles
Distance: 1,588 Miles
Meet Nick – A Smart, Determined, and Loving Companion!
Named after the brilliant blind scientist and mathematician Nicholas Saunderson, Nick is an intelligent and affectionate 8-year-old Carolina Dog, weighing in at 72 lbs. Despite being blind, he navigates the world with confidence and an incredible sense of smell—he’s an independent thinker who prefers to figure things out on his own!
Nick is friendly with other dogs once properly introduced, though he may initially react defensively due to his blindness. He does well with the resident dogs, but when it comes to cats, he’s still figuring them out—his curiosity about them is evident. He absolutely loves his twice-daily walks and patiently waits while you put on his walking vest. However, he’s a strong puller, especially when he catches an interesting scent or wants to meet a new friend, so he’ll need someone capable of handling his enthusiasm.
Nick is house-trained, crate-trained, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He’s looking for a patient, loving home that will appreciate his intelligence, resilience, and affectionate nature. Could you be the one to give Nick the forever home he deserves?
