My story

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

Hi there, I'm Niko!

My favorite thing to do is... Spend time with my family. My foster mom gives me lots of snuggles and my foster dad takes me for walks, almost every day.

What makes me special is... That even though I'm already 9 years old, I am super playful! I sometimes forget my size and think that I'm an 80 pound lap dog.

I want my new owner to know... that I have some anxiety and do much better when I get my walks. I also do better on my walks when it's 1:1. I also have a funny way of greeting people. Foster mom calls it "goosing", whatever that means. I just like to tuck my nose between legs to say hi. I am overall just such a sweet boy and love everyone.

When I am feeling playful I like to.. (favorite toys): play with my foster siblings, even though they are much smaller than me. We have a variety of toys. I have to keep my stuffies from the other pups, so they don't tear them up, but I love to snuggle with my stuffies.

Where do I sleep? in my kennel or on my doggie bed.

I am good with: Dogs and Kids

It is unknown if I am good with: Cats

By nature I am... Affectionate, Playful, and Cuddly
