Neiko is a regal Akita with a soul full of sunshine who has been waiting for his forever family for over five years. While the circumstances of his owner surrender remain a mystery, Neiko's spirit remains unbowed. This playful senior is a walking contradiction: wise and experienced yet bursting with youthful energy. He adores car rides with the windows down, the wind ruffling his fur, and wouldn't dream of missing out on a scoop of dog-friendly ice cream – it's practically a tradition! A champ on walks, Neiko would happily explore new trails with you by his side. If you're looking for a loyal, loving dog who thrives on adventures (and maybe shares your love for frozen treats!), Neiko could be your perfect match. Don't let his extended wait deter you - Neiko's heart, though patient, is brimming with love waiting to be unleashed. Neiko is a favorite among volunteers and enjoys outings with them. He is such a great dog with big love and big personality. He deserves a home of his own! Neiko came to Saving Grace in November 2018. He was found wandering the streets and his owner didn't want him back when Lubbock Animal Services contacted them. He has a gorgeous brindle coat that makes him look so handsome and unique! He is the biggest, sweetest fluff ball you will ever meet! Neiko holds his toys in his mouth and dances around on his back legs when he's happy – which is all the time.
