Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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

Located in the Monterey Bay area in California.
Nikko was abandoned by his first owner and had to be rescued by the SPCA. Since then my father and I took him in on our farm in California. At first he had abandonment issues and didnt like to be left alone. Over a short time he became more comfortable and more independent. Hes very well trained but has a lot of energy. Because of his breed he loves to chase things and is excellent at playing fetch. Hes okay with other dogs however the dog park is not a place for him. Weve walked him tandem with other dogs before. Because of his size he can look intimidating, but hes an extremely sweet boy and very friendly. Hes never shown aggression to anyone but he is very loyal and protective.

My father is relocating to Vermont and unfortunately his new place cant accommodate dogs.

Weve both grown very attached so this is going to break our hearts to let him go. Its important we know hes going to be loved they same as he was here
