Niles had a rough beginning, but with time, patience, and lots of attention, he’s become a bright and affectionate companion. He’s deeply motivated to please and learns quickly—training sessions are his time to shine. Houseguests are a highlight for Niles; he can hardly contain his excitement initially, but once introduced, he melts into pure affection. Niles does not get along with cats or small animals, and they’re best avoided in his new home. He thrives with female dogs, especially those who are older and calm, but he also matches energy with playful types. He’ll do best with lower-energy, submissive male dogs and finds larger, dominant boys intimidating. This big, athletic guy keeps things fun and goofy; plus, he’s always up for a cuddle session. Niles has come so far and is ready for his own happy ending. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
