Niko is a 50/50 Lab and Standard Poodle mix saved from a difficult hoarding situation. He spent time in training for search and rescue work where he showed early promise, especially when motivated by toys, but didn't pass his environmental tests due to anxiety around cars, bikes, and fast movement. He gets along well with both dogs and cats but should not be placed with children. Because of his sensitivities and quirks, Niko needs an adopter with experience handling clever working breeds. He’ll thrive best in a steady home that knows how to help anxious dogs find their confidence. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
