Animal Profile: Aiko is an estimated 10-month-old male terrier breed mix pup who was pulled from Caddo Parish shelter in Louisiana as a 3-month-old and arrived in Seattle on 08/08. In true puppy form he is sweet, playful, and good with people and other dogs. He is currently about 35lbs.

Foster Update 1 (Fall 2023):
Meet Aiko! His name means "Little loved one" in Japanese and the name sure suits him! Although he's had a rough start to life, he's the happiest boy you'll ever meet! He gets along amazingly with other dogs of all shapes and sizes plus loves playing with them. He loves people and has been friendly with everyone he's met, plus comes running with his tail happily wagging when I call him. He loves food and playing with toys. He's such a silly goofball, everyone he's met so far loves him!

Foster Update 2 (Jan 2024):
Aiko has been super resilient despite a failed adoption. He has had full obedience training and knows all the basics -- loose leash walking, recall, sit, place, and down. He does need an owner who can meet his mental and physical stimulation needs as well as hold him accountable. He is crate-trained though he can be a little vocal if he feels he is missing out. Aiko shows a little too much interest in the

cat in his

foster home so we feel he would be most successful in a feline-free home. He would do best with a playful resident dog and meets dogs well off-leash.
