🐾 Meet Nikko – your tiny, wiggly, cuddle-obsessed best friend 💛 🐕✨ American Staffordshire mix Weight on 5/1/2026: 8lbs Estimated birthday: 2/10/2026 Nikko is an 11-week-old bundle of pure sweetness with the softest heart and the happiest little spirit. After a tough start surviving on the streets with his mama and siblings, this little love is now safe, thriving, and ready to start the best chapter of his life… being someone’s very spoiled baby. Nikko is the definition of puppy perfection. He’s playful, silly, and full of those adorable little zoomies that will have you smiling all day long. He loves to chase toys, wrestle with his siblings, and bounce around like the carefree puppy he was always meant to be. But the moment playtime winds down, Nikko transforms into the ultimate snuggle bug. He will happily melt right into your arms, soaking up every bit of love like he’s been waiting his whole life for it. He’s the kind of puppy who wants to be wherever you are… your little shadow, your cuddle buddy, your constant companion. If you sit down, expect Nikko to climb right into your lap. If you lay down, he’ll be right there, curled up close, dreaming sweet puppy dreams. He doesn’t just like affection… he lives for it. Nikko would love a home where he can play, explore, and then be wrapped up in love at the end of the day. He’d be so happy with a doggy friend to romp around with, but more than anything, he just wants a family who will cherish him, snuggle him, and remind him every day how special he is. This sweet boy has already come so far, and now he’s ready for his happily ever after… a home filled with laughter, love, and lots and lots of cuddles. If you’re looking for a playful little heart-stealer who will adore you endlessly… Nikko is waiting 💛 He is: ⭐️ Vaccinated with age appropriate vaccines and microchipped 🏡 Kennel & potty training in progress 🐶 Dog, cat and kid friendly 📍 Houston, TX (transport available out of state!)

These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport. *Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year. *Listed breed is based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption. *Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption. *All of our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters! *We have a strong adoption process, backed by reviews from previous adopters.
