NIKO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!



Name: Niko Best Guess for Breed: Lab and hound mix

Best Guess for Age: 6 months as of January 2026 SEX: Male

Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 26.8 lbs as of 1/4/26
Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.

Currently Living at: DC area foster home

Special Adoption Considerations:
Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Niko would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.
Niko is Looking For: His forever home! Niko is a sato from Puerto Rico who can't wait to find his forever home in the DC area. He wants what all puppies want - play time, snuggles, and world exploration! Making pup pals is high on his wish list, and he'd like to go to puppy school too, so he can learn to be the bestest boy.

Most of all, though, he wants to be safe and loved for all his days, to know where he belongs. What do you say? Is that with you?
What My Foster Says About Me: Niko does well in his crate and lets you know he is ready to come out when we get home. He is making progress with his potty training. He is getting used to walking on a lead and loves walks. Niko is a toy nester and loves his bones the best. He does know sit and has learned to sit for his food. He loves to play with dogs and it really doesn't matter the size, he almost prefers the bigger ones. He is a typical puppy and learning play manners. Loves, loves, loves to cuddle. He is an all around great puppy with a big personality.
Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.
