Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Husky (medium coat). Niko is an almost 4-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix. He weighs around 75 pounds and has the most captivating hazel brown eyes. Niko is a love bug who lives for booty scratches. He is an amazing dog with the sweetest demeanor. In addition to being a total baby, Niko comes pre-equipped with some pretty cool tricks. It is very clear that Niko was a well-loved at one point. This boy walks very well on a leash, will sit, shake, lie down - he even knows how to speak on command, and we’re currently working on “stay”. Niko is the type of dog where the word “smart” doesn’t do him justice. He is brilliant, a total love, very eager to please, and waiting for someone to give him his second chance. If you'd like to meet this beautiful boy, please complete an adoption application and be sure to ask for NIKO SCAS!

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
