My name is Niko!

7 year old Niko was one of six dogs from a hoarding situation- he lived in the house with five chihuahuas! The chihuahuas all found their forever homes and now it's time for sweet Niko. This big boy can be strong on a leash but he tires out quickly- the volunteers say he loves to lie down and doze in the sun during their sessions. He is a boy that appreciates the little things in life! He is learning his commands and has a soft mouth taking treats. If you are interested in this hunk, please give us a call at 516-869-6311 to learn more or email animalshelter@northhempsteadny.gov to request an adoption application.
