Neko
Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Age: 2 years
Sex: Male

Neko is a 2-year-old Lab/Pittie mix with a calm, soulful presence and a heart full of love. While he may not be the type to flash big smiles for the camera, in person he is gentle, affectionate, and deeply connected to his people.
He is dog friendly and enjoys canine companionship. With his humans, Neko truly shines — he loves cuddles and will happily lean into you for comfort and affection. He’s the kind of dog who bonds closely and just wants to feel safe and included.
Labrador mixes are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and eagerness to please. Pit Bull mixes are affectionate, people-oriented, and devoted companions. Neko carries those wonderful traits and would thrive in a home that offers consistency, love, and companionship.
It’s worth noting that black dogs are often overlooked in shelters simply because they don’t stand out in photos the way lighter-colored dogs do. But once home, their personalities shine brightly — and Neko is no exception.
If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will be by your side through it all, Neko may be the perfect fit.
