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.

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.
