About Niko Baby Boy

Niko is a professional snuggler and the ultimate vibe check champion! This soulful, observant 78 lb. gentleman has officially retired from the fast lane to pursue a career in professional lounging. He bonds deeply with his people and once he knows you're his, he transforms into a lovable puddle of affection, ready for belly rubs. Niko isn't looking to run any marathons; he's searching for a best friend to share quiet afternoons and a commitment to napping. He's a low-speed, high-snuggle specialist who enjoys keeping you in his sight but doesn't need to bounce off the walls for attention. If your ideal Saturday involves a book and a snack, Niko is already scouting out the best rug nearby, ready to provide moral support. While his DNA is a mystery, he's likely part German Shepherd and 100% weighted blanket, a sturdy, big-bodied gentleman with a heart to match.

Ideal Home

Niko would thrive in a calm, easygoing home. An apartment or quiet condo suits him just fine, as long as there's a comfy spot to lounge and a human nearby to hang out with. He might take a minute to warm up, but once he's comfortable, he's all about the sweet stuff.

Ongoing Health

Niko is a healthy boy ready to leave his past behind.

Training & Support

Niko is an A+ student! He is both crate trained and potty trained, making him a polite houseguest. He enjoys knowing when dinner is served and where his favorite person is.
