Hi there, future family!

My name is Niko, and I'm an 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a whole lot of love and energy to share. I weigh about 65 pounds, and I'm as cute as can be! Let me tell you a bit about myself and why I might just be the perfect addition to your home.

I'm a well-mannered boy who's housetrained—I even go to the door to let you know when it's time for a potty break. I'm great in my crate, which makes things a lot easier for you when you need some downtime. Exercise is super important to me. I love running around in the house or yard with my doggy pals and going on walks. I'm quite the active guy, and playtime is my favorite time!

I get along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats. I think cats are fascinating, though sometimes they give me a little smack when I get too curious, and then I just walk away. I'm also a people-lover, but due to my energy and playful nature, I’d do best in a home with kids over 12.

Some of my favorite things include toys, fetch, tug of war, bones, car rides, and cuddles. I'm a smart cookie too—I already know "sit" and "paw." My foster mom says I'm friendly, outgoing, confident, happy, playful, and loyal. I’m looking for a home with a fenced yard because I love running and playing outside, and I prefer not to do my business on a leash or tie-out.

My ideal home would have a doggy playmate. I adore my new canine foster brother, who is a 30-pound puppy. I play gently with him, whether it's tug of war or chasing him around the yard. I’m also super affectionate. I love greeting my foster family with licks and cuddles, and I no longer jump on people or furniture.

I do need plenty of exercise and stimulation, or I might chew on things I shouldn't. But with the right amount of play and love, I promise to be your sweetest and most loyal companion. Are you ready to be my forever family?

With love and licks, Niko
