🐾 Meet Nikos! 💙
A spunky, bold, and strikingly handsome young pup who is the perfect combination of brains, charm, and good manners! At 4.5 months and 25lbs., Nikos will grow to a perfectly solid medium size and is already proving that he's something special. He's a quick learner, a keen observer, and an absolute joy to have around. 🐶💙

This handsome guy is silently observant and incredibly alert. He loves to watch anything and everything going on around him, taking in the world with his curious eyes. His attentiveness even makes him an excellent four-legged stranger notification bell! 🔔🐕

Nikos enjoys his chew toys, snacks, and all sorts of edibles (because what's life without delicious treats? 😋). He loves sniffy walks, playing with big dogs, and exploring the world around him. When he's had his fill of adventure, he naps like a baby. 💤

He's also a social sweetheart who does well with kids and other dogs of all sizes. Whether he's romping around with his canine friends, enjoying a leisurely sniff-filled walk, or settling in for a cozy nap, Nikos knows how to make the most of his day.

🌟 Nikos is a trainer's dream! He's smart, attentive, eager to learn, and already showing such wonderful manners. With his bold personality, handsome looks, and loving nature, he's the kind of pup who has so much potential to become an incredible lifelong companion.

Hello I'm Potbelly! I am a 10 week old Jack Russell mix who loves to give kisses and snuggle. So far I have met many other pups and some cats too. Potty training is coming along for me but I am still working on it. I love to eat and chill with my people and other pup friends.

Benny has a fairly long and sad story, but that doesn't stop him from loving life and everything in it!

He was picked up as a stray after being hit by a car. Animal control was told to euthanize him due to (BSL) anti-pitbull laws. Instead, they reached out to one of our friends in the area and they were able to save him and get him the medical attention he needed. Unfortunately, that included amputating one of his back legs. But he is doing great -- running and playing.

Benny jumps up on the couch and bed to snuggle in. He does snore occasionally, but not too loudly.
Interested in adding this special boy to your family? You can apply at pawsup4rescue.org.
