Shelter Enrichment Makes Staff Say "Wow!"

Niko, a three-year old available dog at Georgia Avenue, has fun and demonstrates his intelligence working at a "Nina Ottosson" interactive puzzle game while hanging out with Natalie Ruhl and Jordan Oeste, Animal Caretakers. Niko manipulates three dimensional puzzle pieces to reach tidbits of his favorite treat, stimulating his brain, encouraging physical dexterity and mental well-being, while reinforcing his relationship with the people around him. Having only seen the game once or twice prior to when this was filmed, Natalie and Jordan express awe at how quickly Niko seems to figure out how to work the pieces in order to get to his treats. This big boy has some HUGE brain power!
