Nick was found by a resident at a nearby intersection, and unfortunately no one came forward to claim him, so he has no backstory, according to shelter officials.

Diana Summers, manager of the Orange County Animal Services, said in a news release that Nick has become a favorite among staff and they have learned more about his personality.

“During that time he’s become a favorite of our staff and volunteers; he has a sweet demeanor and is a young healthy dog, estimated to be around three years old. We’ve done so much to highlight this guy – including a special banner on his cage to draw attention, flyers in his honor posted up around the building, multiple pushes for him on our social media platforms but still sadly haven’t found his right person. We’re hoping by hosting this event we can match him the family he deserves.”
