About Niko Baby Boy

Niko is a professional snuggler, a 78 lb. gentle giant who is looking for a calm, easygoing home. He's a big dude who would much rather be a mobile pillow than a marathon runner. Niko bonds deeply with his people and transforms into a puddle of love, especially when belly rubs are involved. He's a professional shadow who likes to stay close to his humans but doesn't need to be the center of attention. If your ideal Saturday involves a book and a snack, Niko is ready to provide moral support and lean on you. He is a mysterious mix, but we're pretty sure he's part German Shepherd and at least 50% weighted blanket.

Ideal Home

Niko would thrive in a calm, easygoing home. An apartment or quiet condo is perfectly fine, as long as there's a comfy spot to lounge and a human nearby.

Ongoing Health

Niko has no known health conditions.

Training & Support

Niko is crate trained and potty trained, and is a polite houseguest. He is fascinated by cats and may need a trial period to ensure they can become friends.

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

Niko is currently in a foster home in Houston, Texas. Transportation is available nationwide through our rescue's USDA-certified transport system. Texas adopters must pick up from the Houston area.
