Nikolai

Meet Nikolai!<br/><br/>At just 3 years old and 50 lb, Nikolai is a calm, gentle boy whos still learning that the world is a safe place. Unfortunately, prior to being rescued by Bubbles Dog Rescue, humans did not treat Nikolai with the kindness he deserves. Nikolai was found by animal control with a rope tied around his mouth. We cant know all that Nikolai endured in his short life but whats notable is that through it all, hes never once shown even an ounce of aggression towards any human or dog! <br/><br/>Nikolai recently completed 8 weeks of board and train to boost his confidence and to help him feel more comfortable exploring the outdoors. On walks, he can be skittishespecially with sudden noisesand often looks over his shoulder for reassurance. With patience and routine, hes already gaining confidence- he tries so hard to do everything right. We learned through training that Nikolai excels in predictable environments. He is routine driven and would do well with a confident and encouraging handler. The ideal home for Nikolai would be one where humans are around a fair amount of time and also where there are other canine pals to be his buddies. <br/><br/>He has the cutest quirks: he likes to carry his food to a cozy corner before eating, digs into blankets to make the perfect nest, and loves to cuddle like a lap dog. He offers gentle kisses and soaks up affection like hes making up for lost time.<br/><br/>Nikolai is potty trained, knows sit and lie down, listens well, and has an adorable case of the morning zoomies. Hes smart, eager to bond, and blossoming more every day. Everyone who meets him falls in loveand he gives that love right back.<br/><br/>Nikolai is located in Southern California but we are open to the right adopter anywhere on the west coast <br/><br/>To foster or adopt Nikolai, please fill out our app: <br/>bubblesdogrescue.org/adopt
