Meet Niko, the X-Dog! 🐾

Alias: "Turbo Pup"

Powers: Boundless energy, irresistible charm, and an unbreakable spirit.

Niko may not shoot lasers from his eyes, but this spirited, fun-loving pup has a gift for bringing joy wherever he goes! With his sweet disposition and unstoppable curiosity, he's bold and assertive, fearless in his exploration—especially when it comes to chasing an ice cube across the floor. He's got an affinity for adventure, whether he's hopping in the car for a new mission or heading to UConn's campus, where he takes his "meeting new people" duties very seriously.

Although he’s been crated before, Niko prefers to roam free, making the whole house his territory to guard and explore. A champion of chew toys, Niko can't resist a tug-o-war with a rope or a treat-filled Kong—his training equipment of choice!

He's also got a squad of a 6-year-old husky, and two human siblings to complete his team. Even the busiest days are never too much for Niko, but with his humans' schedules changing, he's facing a new challenge: solo missions at home. While he's shown a bit of anxiety (and chewed part of the sofa), all he needs is more action-packed exercise and some superpowered bonding time to overcome this hurdle.

Could you be the one to bring out the hero in this incredible pup? If you're looking for a companion who'll grow into a lifelong partner with the heart of an X-Men, Niko is waiting to join your team.
