Story: Niko is a handsome, happy guy looking for a home with a couch to lounge on, a Netflix account to binge his favorite shows, and a family who will include him in all of their adventures. Niko is a good walker, listens very well, is very attuned to his handler, makes good eye contact, and is just a joy to be with. He's also very smart and knows sit, down, shake, and catch. During a brief foster stay, Niko was housebroken and reportedly crate-trained. He was described as calm, sweet, endearing, and friendly, and they said he's an affectionate cuddler who loves his toys.

Story: Taranga is a volunteer favorite at PACC. Volunteers say, "Taranga is one of my favorite dogs to walk. She's easy to leash up and takes treats with a soft mouth. She ignores other dogs and people during our walks along the lake." When meeting other dogs in PACC playgroup, Taranga was playful, social, and very tolerant of the other dogs. This sweet, happy, and playful gal would like to meet any resident pets before heading home to ensure it's a good fit.
