Niko Bear looks like he stepped right out of an action movie – big, handsome, and covered in little scars that hint at a life of adventure. But beneath that rugged exterior is one of the sweetest, gentlest souls you'll ever meet. He's basically a teddy bear disguised as a tough guy, quietly leaning into you for affection with the softest eyes imaginable. Niko Bear is approximately 4 years old, weighs around 74 lbs, and we believe he may be a Pittie/Shepherd mix. He has a calm, easygoing way about him that makes life feel a little less rushed. He's not constantly looking for excitement or demanding attention, preferring to mosey through life at his own pace, find a comfy spot to relax, and enjoy the company of his people. Niko is thoughtful when meeting new people, taking a moment to observe before slowly making his way over for a sweet, gentle lean.
