Valko (fka Nieko)

My story

Nieko is the rare find - a husky that can be secured! This sweet boy is crate trained and will not try to escape or destroy his crate! He chills very well while his foster mom is at work, and goes straight into his crate with no issues when cued. Nieko already knows sit and lay down. He is working on the "quiet" cue because he certainly likes to talk (in true husky fashion). Check out Nieko's video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVb0fq1O6CwnPFLTh_TcjDLWhtFmpZgN3 Nieko is a sweetheart who is gentle when taking food and treats from your hand. He loves to have his belly rubbed by those he trusts. He also loves to run and play tag! His foster will slowly creep towards him and he gets so excited to play along in the game. Nieko is very treat motivated and very smart. He knows to sit before he leaves the crate and before he goes out the door to go outside. Nieko rarely barks outside, except to let his foster mom know that he is ready to go back inside. When inside, as stated he can be pretty talkative with everyone passing by. Nieko is a very attentive and sweet boy, but he will make you earn that trust and affection. He is an excellent walker on leash and is very sensitive to even the slight pressure by responding right away to follow you. Nieko currently lives with other dogs, and does well with them with slow introductions. Nieko is not currently recommended to live with cats. He is moderate energy and may be fine with older children. It is recommended to bring your children to meet him if you are interested in adoption. Nieko is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. All Better World Rescue dogs come with complimentary private and/or group training to help ensure a successful adoption.
