My story

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 CuddlySeptember 6, 2025, 9:19 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Niko, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
