Niko is looking for a home that is well-structured and has limited activity, where he can relax and know that everything is just as it should be. He is happiest when he has his own space to unwind; he will do best with a room dedicated just for him, complete with his extra-large crate and all his favorite things.

The PAWS adoption team will pair any adopter with his amazing trainer, who will help his new family support him as he settles in and continues learning. While Niko loves people, he would prefer to be the only pet in his home; no other dogs, cats, or children would best fit his low-traffic home needs. He enjoys being the center of attention and truly shines when he has all the love to himself! He does have some slight body sensitivity, but most of the time he absolutely loves pets and will lean into your hand for more. His affectionate nature, combined with his love for snuggles and attention, makes him a wonderful companion for someone who is ready to give him a lifetime of love and security. Niko may have some special requirements, but for the right person, he will be an endlessly rewarding companion.
