Meet Niko, a sweet, gentle 2-year-old dog who has come a long way. He was rescued as a puppy from the streets of Sabanera in Dorado, Puerto Rico, alongside his brother, Nero. After months of veterinary care, antibiotics, medicated baths, and love, Niko has transformed into a handsome 39-pound companion with distinctive white paws.

Niko is quiet and can be timid in new situations. With patience, kindness, and consistency, he is ready to continue building trust and confidence.

Ideal Home

Niko must live with another friendly, confident dog who can help him feel safe and show him that people are kind. He is wonderful with other dogs, does well with cats, and is reported to do well with children.

Ongoing Health

Niko previously suffered from fungal infections and severe skin disease. He received months of dedicated veterinary care, antibiotics, and medicated baths, and has transformed into the healthy-looking dog he is today. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Training & Support

Niko is house trained and crate trained. He has a quiet, gentle nature and will need a family willing to let him gain confidence at his own pace.
