Dog Rescue Stories: Niko Rescued His Good Human!

By Jarissa Aquinde, Positively Woof Rescue and Adoption Story Editor

Niko is a 2 year old Pit Bull / American Bulldog mix who lives with his furever family in Lacey, Washington.  Niko was found as a stray in Parker, Arizona, when he was only 5 weeks old.  He was malnourished, and was nurtured back to health by Karl and his daughter, who then adopted him!

Niko is very outgoing, incredibly friendly, and quite the character!  Niko’s dad, Karl, is visually impaired, and Niko has brought so much joy to his life.  Karl feels that Niko rescued HIM!!
