My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

$50 Adoption fee! Why so low? Yakima County is spilling over with stray and dumped dogs. Our goal is to get dogs into the right homes ASAP so we can help other dogs in need. It's not about the money, it's about finding the right home for these pups! Niko and his siblings suffered from Parvo. Unfortunately most of the litter passed away, but Niko is a tough one! He is such a fun loving, playful boy with lots of energy! Niko would best be matched with a family that has a young playful fur sibling for Niko to learn from and grow/play with. This dog is located in Selah, WA. PetFinder allows multiple postings of the same animal as long as the postings are 100 miles apart from each other. This way we can reach far and wide to find the perfect home for this dog. If driving to Selah is difficult for you, we will do our best to find a rescue partner to meet you halfway.
