Description:
Say hello to our newest arrival Niko! He's had some changes in his young life, all of six months. Given away by his owner to good samaritans in a Tractor Supply parking lot, he was brought to safety through their efforts to find options for him. In their quest they connected with a family willing to foster him until he finds his perfect match and that family had connections to one of our volunteers. His fosters are shepherd savvy and Niko's thriving in their care. We know that he's cat workable, dog friendly and a little shy meeting new people. But he was also a gem at his first vet appointment getting caught up on vaccines, getting a health check up and starting on preventatives. While we work on an appointment to get him neutered, he's learning sit, down, recall and relaxing into his new environment which includes learning all about crating. Niko adores his fosters and the structure he's getting in their care after all the changes in his life. A treat and praise motivated shepherd, he's a quick learner. This 44 lb sweet boy also loves the snow and snuggling with his resident buddy. As with all of our puppies, please consider applying for Niko if you have experience with raising shepherds or similar smart working breed dogs. They require physical and mental exercise, structure, training, and extensive environmental exposure to become neutral adult dogs.
