Niko's Story

Have you ever found the perfect tennis ball? Me neither! My name is Niko, and I'm a certified tennis ball tester. I carefully verify that each ball bounces just right, catches air properly, and earns a top-tier chewability rating. So far, every ball has passed... but I'm still on the hunt for the very best one! <br/>When I'm not hard at work testing tennis balls, I love going for car rides, making friends with other dogs, and enjoying nice walks. I'm an all-around fun guy who's always ready for the next adventure.<br/>If you're interested in meeting me - or any of my friends - please visit ChesapeakeHumane.org. I can't wait to meet you!
