If you're looking for a whole lot of love wrapped up in a squishy, wiggly package—Nyx is your guy! This big, lovable bulldog is all heart (and a little drool). With his signature wiggle butt and joyful energy, Nyx is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face every single day. Nyx loves everyone he meets—humans, dogs, probably even mail carriers.

He’s also a huge fan of car rides and loves to be right in your lap while you're driving—though he definitely benefits from a seatbelt to keep everyone safe and snuggly on the road.

Story
Well howdy there, partner! The name’s Neko, but y’all can just call me your ol' buddy. I may be 11 years old, but don’t let my age fool ya – this cowboy’s still got plenty of spunk left in him. I’ve been around the block a few times, but I’m as sweet as a fresh batch of cornbread and always ready for some playin’ and snuggles. I’ve got a big ol’ wiggle butt that I’m mighty proud of, and when I’m happy – which is most of the time – you’ll see it waggin’ like a windmill in a prairie breeze. I love me some toys, and when there’s food around, I’m your trusty sidekick, motivated and ready to work for a tasty treat. And let me tell ya, I may not hear like I used to – getting older does that to a cowboy – but I sure still know how to show some love and keep up with the fun! I’m friendly with other dogs and good on a leash, so I’m happy to take a slow, casual stroll with ya through the open range (or around the neighborhood, whatever suits ya). I’m a cuddlebug at heart, so after a good romp, I’ll be right next to you for some quality snuggle time. Even though my hearing's a little quieter these days, don’t you worry – I’m still playful, sweet, and ready to keep on livin' life to the fullest. If you're lookin’ for a loyal, easygoing cowboy with a big heart, well, I reckon I’m the one for ya. So, what do you say? Ready to ride off into the sunset together?
