Meet 180273 Niles

NILES - 1-5 years old, 45 pounds, nervous at first, needs time to warm up to you Lucian and Niles arrived at VBACAC as strays. They both are mostly white with tall ears that flop over at the tips. They both had collars and leashes attached when found. They had a home, that's for sure. Beautiful healthy-looking active pups, each about 1-5 years young, and not reclaimed. Lucian and Niles are husky type dogs who have tons of energy. Right now they are nervous and barky behind the cage bars but when you open the door, they back off. I was easily able to leash each one and walk outside. Niles sat for treats also looking very stately. He took them gently and then in the funniest way, would bite them into the smallest bird-like pieces to eat. So cute! Both pups were hesitant to let me pet them so I didn't push that. Time will allow them to get used to me (and you!) and then I know they will show their true playful and silly sides. Lucian showed me some silliness when he kept putting his paws on the barrel to get my leash and then the water bucket. Def a silly boy! We don't know how they feel about other dogs, besides each other, but we will update when we learn more.
