Niko is a sweet, affectionate boy with a big heart and lots of personality.

He loves going on walks and is a champion sniffer who enjoys taking in the world around him. Curious and observant, Niko likes to stay aware of his surroundings. When it’s time to relax, he’s all about affection, cuddles, and happy hugs. Niko will do best with a patient, gentle adopter who’s willing to let him open up at his own pace. Once he does, you’ll gain a loyal, loving companion for life. This pet is available at:Brandywine Valley SPCA4 DC Village Lane SWWashington, DC 20032
