Hi there! My name is Niko, and I am a friendly and affectionate senior dog. I am loyal and independent, but I also love to cuddle up with my favorite people. I am smart and know how to open doors and can sit on command. I am very people-oriented and will always be there when you need me. I love going on walks and looking out the window to see what's going on. Unfortunately, I am not good with other dogs. I am a bit of a grumpy old man and prefer to be the only dog in my home. I need a very experienced owner who can handle my grumpiness and give me the love and care I need. If you are looking for a loyal and loving companion, I am the dog for you. Please consider adopting me into your family, and I will make sure to be a great friend and companion NIKO is currently fostered in Texas but is available for adoption throughout the country thanks to our transport program NIKO adoption fee is $500 which includes his neuter, current vaccinations (rabies, 4 parvo/distemper boosters, and Bordetella), negative heartworm test (if 6+ mths old at transport), negative fecal within 14 days of transport, health certificate within 10-days of transport, registered microchip, and transport costs.
