Meet Nikolaus! This handsome 1-year-old male Doberman is the perfect mix of playful energy and loving companionship! With his sleek black coat, cropped ears, and docked tail, he’s a true head-turner. Nikolaus is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find his forever home—or a foster home to get him out of boarding!
Not only is Nikolaus stunning, but he also has a fantastic temperament! He does great with other dogs, loves kids, and even gets along with cats. He has been attending doggy daycare, where he enjoys playing and socializing with his furry friends. This smart, well-rounded boy thrives with structure, training, and plenty of activity.
Nikolaus is currently in a boarding facility, waiting for a foster or forever home. He would love a family to give him the love, stability, and companionship he deserves. If you can foster or adopt this incredible boy, please reach out today! ❤️
