Meet Niko, a 3.5-year-old male Black Labrador Retriever mix who’s ready to find his forever home! Niko is a sleek black beauty who absolutely loves water. Just give him a life jacket, and he's off! With an adventurous spirit, he enjoys toys and chew bones, and he’s great at sniffing out new places to explore. A fenced yard would be ideal for Niko to stretch his legs and soak up the sun. Rescued from a tough situation, Niko is eager to share his affection with a loving family. He has done well with other dogs, especially puppies, but he prefers a cat-free home as he tends to get a bit too excited around them. Though he’s a Labrador, he isn't overly food motivated. Niko is well-behaved at home, loves to cuddle, and would thrive on outdoor adventures like hiking and camping. While he may feel a bit anxious in busy public places, he shines in quieter parks where he can enjoy the scenery. He’s also quite photogenic, so don’t forget to capture his best moments! Niko is located in Corpus Christi, TX, but he can be transported to his new home. If you're ready for a sweet and playful companion, Niko could be the perfect match for you.
