🐕Niko got to go on a ‘Tails on Trails’ adventure and from the sounds of it he never stopped smiling. In you are interested in joining this amazing program just come by the shelter to sign up.🐾

🐶Our adventure: We went around the trails near UAA. The first 5 mins consisted of a lot of excitement but after 10 minutes, he was perfectly trotting alongside. He could probably go for forever it seems but I could tell he was pretty thirsty so after about 30 minutes, we headed back to my car for water. We then set back out for another 10 minutes and then we went home for a bit of a break and playtime. I discovered that he loves a good rubber ball he can chase and chew on. He seemed to know how to bring it back to me for me to throw. He was certainly an explorer and loved looking and sniffing around. You do have to keep an eye on him as he is QUICK to get into things (before we even left AAC, he had sneaked into the trash and stolen a cat food tin that we quickly had to grab back). HE HAS THE CUTEST BUNNY HOP WHEN HE'S EXCITED! At one point on the trails, I ran a little with him and he was so excited and literally did the cutest bunny hops. He seems to be fine/nonchalant around other dogs. When we passed them, he was curious but not reactive. Way more invested in his human or exploring around. He's not huge on car rides (as he does not want to sit or lay down) but I use a harness and seatbelt clip that kept him in place and he tolerated not being able to explore and just stood in place. He's really such a good boy that wants to walk a hundred miles with a big smile on his face.💙💚
