About Niko

Niko is a high-energy, young cattle dog mix looking for his next adventure. He’s around a year old and brings loads of enthusiasm wherever he goes. House and kennel training are already under his belt. He knows how to sit and offer a "shake," always eager to learn if there are treats involved. Food is definitely a motivator for Niko, but he's still working on some resource guarding issues—he’ll need an adopter who’s ready to keep up the positive training. For this reason, Niko’s better suited for homes without small children, or with someone committed to ongoing work in this area. Niko will be fully vetted before heading home.
