Niko's Story

Meet Niko, a six-year-old Standard Poodle whose world has always revolved around his people. When his prior family reached out to SPIN, it wasn’t because they didn’t love him — in fact, it was quite the opposite. Life changes meant they could no longer give him the structure, time, and one-on-one attention he thrives on. They wanted to set him up for success, and that meant finding a home that could truly match his energy, his intelligence, and his big, loyal heart.<br/><br/>Niko arrived in foster care with the sweetness, house manners, and affectionate nature he’d always had — and he’s been blossoming with the predictability, routine, and kindness of his foster home. He’s a fun, bouncy, endlessly curious boy who loves fetch, outdoor adventures, and staying close to “his” person
