My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Niko! He is a 1-year-old Pit mix that was transferred to our rescue with the hopes he'll find his forever family. When you first meet Niko, this boy is spunky! He's playful and has gotta get those zoomies out. Afterward, the only spot he wants to be is right in your lap getting lots of love. He's every bit affectionate and sweet. Niko loves his treats so much, that he can sometimes take them a little rougher, so we suggest children 8+ so no one accidentally gets hurt. Niko is still working on his potty training but he was found as a stray. We're not sure how much experience he has. A little structure and consistency and he should get it down in no time! Niko can't wait to have a home to call his own. Does he sound like a good match for you?

Additional adoption info

PUPPIES

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.

ADULTS

Adult dogs are dogs that are ages 1 – 6 years old. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $300.

They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and if age allows spay/neutered.
