Nikola

Nikola spent nearly his entire life at Hopeland. He arrived as a puppy, rescued from a horrific situation alongside his siblings—his ear cruelly cut, his trust in the world deeply shaken. One by one, his brothers and sisters found homes. But Nikola waited.

He waited with patience, strength, and his enormous heart full of hope.

Though the last of his siblings to be adopted, Nikola’s happy ending is one for the storybooks. He was finally chosen by people who didn’t just want a dog—they wanted him. With open hearts, they saw beyond his past and into the soul of an incredible companion.

Today, Nikola is home. Really home. Surrounded by people who cherish him, challenge him, and give him the security and stimulation he longed for. He now walks through life with confidence, his 40 kilos of love and loyalty finally anchored in a place of belonging.

Because sometimes, the last one chosen is the one most meant to stay.
