About Niko

Niko is a charming 3.5-year-old black Labrador Retriever mix, currently looking for a loving home. This sleek beauty adores water, making him an ideal candidate for outdoor adventures—just add a life jacket! Niko loves exploring, playing with toys, and is a big fan of chew bones. While he enjoys company and has done well with other dogs, he’s not the best fit for homes with cats due to his playful excitement. Living in South Texas, Niko dreams of having a fenced yard where he can bask in the sun and exercise his keen nose. He’s a joyful explorer, but he also appreciates quiet moments at home with his family. Though he gets a bit anxious in crowded places, a big park would be his happy place.
