In the shelter’s words

(DOB 8/3/2024) Nikko is the softest, sweetest snuggle bug with a heart full of love! This handsome boy is everyone’s friend—kids, adults, and dogs alike. He’s also been good with the resident guinea pigs and bearded dragon. He's never met a stranger he didn’t like! At this time, he hasn't had an opportunity to meet cats.Nikko is the best of both worlds; an energetic playmate who loves to run and romp, followed by a professional-level cuddle buddy who’s happiest soaking up pets beside his people. He’s looking for a fenced yard (around 5 feet) to burn off his energy and a family to keep him busy. He’d be happy with a playful pup sibling or as your one-and-only adventure buddy. He’s gentle with his furry friends and happily shares his toys.Already crate trained, house trained, and good on a leash, Nikko has lots going for him! He does experience separation anxiety, so a home where someone is around much of the day or where he has a furry friend for company would be ideal. He also loves going with you in the car so pack him up and take him with you. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, playful boy who will keep you moving and then snuggle his way right into your heart, Nikko is your guy!As part of Nikko’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet boy, you can email: Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org. If you wish to adopt Nikko, you can complete an application online for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website: www.pawsforlifenc.org.
