Meet Nike!
Nike is a bundle of energy, personality, and LOVE who is looking for a family ready to make him part of their crew.
Nike's Gold Stars
Quiet and content in his crate
LOVES his toys
Has the best evening zoomies
Great with big AND little humans
Super smart and eager to learn
Full of love for his people
Things Nike is still learning
He's working on his potty manners, but for a pup, he is doing AMAZING!
He can be a little nervous when first meeting new people or entering new situations, but once he warms up, he LOVES his people.
He can get a little mouthy when he gets excited during play, but he responds well to correction and redirection.
New smells-and especially yummy human food-can sometimes be too tempting, so he may try a little counter surfing. Again, he redirects well and is learning!
