Meet Nikko, the delightful Treeing Walker Coonhound who has a heart as big as his personality! 🎉 Rescued five years ago from a tough start after being abandoned, Nikko has grown into a sweet, loveable companion who brings joy and laughter to everyone around him. Imagine him as the king of “hide and seek” in your backyard, thinking he's camouflaged behind a tree—so adorable! 🌳 He’s crate trained (in fact, he puts himself to bed when he’s tired!), and he’s house-trained too. When he needs to go outside but the schedule isn’t quite right, Nikko knows just how to use those puppy eyes to win you over, placing his head in your lap as if to say, 'Please, just let me out!' 😍 Nikko is not just a pretty face; he’s also clever and funny! He can learn new tricks faster than you can say 'treat!' 🍖 At a sturdy 45 pounds, he sometimes forgets he’s not a lap dog and will snuggle right up to you. And just wait until you see him cozy up in a hoodie pocket—he’s the ultimate cuddle buddy! 🤗 With his playful spirit, he’ll bring endless joy to your life, especially if you have kids. His bond with our 10-year-old is absolutely heartwarming as they share laughs and giggles during their playful chases. However, this amazing dude needs a little extra love in a different environment. Nikko tends to feel anxious and overstimulated in crowded settings and thrives in a peaceful, rural atmosphere where he can roam freely and enjoy life to the fullest. 🏞️ A spacious home with room to run is what will truly make his heart sing! We are making this tough decision with love, as Nikko deserves to flourish. For a loving home that understands his needs, he is ready to be your new best friend!

It’s time to welcome this wonderful guy into your life and experience the joy he has to offer! 🕊️
