Niko is a loyal and independent senior dog with a big heart for people. He’s affectionate, always ready to cuddle up, and sharp enough to open doors and follow basic commands. Niko thrives on attention and wants to be wherever his favorite people are. He still enjoys neighborhood walks and spends plenty of time watching the world go by from windows. Niko is very people-focused and loves being part of the action, but he needs to be your only dog. He’s a bit of a grump around other dogs and really wants a home where he won’t have to share his humans. An experienced owner will do best, someone who understands and appreciates the quirks of an older, independent-minded companion. In return, Niko will be a devoted and dependable friend. Niko is currently being fostered in Texas but is available for adoption nationwide through a transport program. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
