SENIOR NIKITA IS A CHAMP!

Despite being 13 years old, Nikita (Niki) is a little powerhouse. She breezes through long walks in the woods, romps like a lamb in the yard, and sniffs her way through verdant parks. Her vet, her foster and all who meet her insist that she can’t be more than 6. At 13 she has recently toughed through a spay, a full dental and a cyst removal.

Niki is adorable, delightful and although playful she has no interest in toys. Excited at meal time, she dances for her food. Niki is also loyal to the max, once she trusts, you will have a permanent sidekick, bodyguard and BFF. Newcomers (friends and family) will have to pass the Niki test before she will greet them and welcome treats from their hands. She tolerates the dogs that she meets on walks but must be the one and only in the household as she requires ALL of the attention and is not interested in sharing her affection.

She is almost deaf and doesn’t respond to calling or clapping but is alert to a loud whistle or to hand commands. She does her business outside pretty well all of the time but can also use a pee pad if necessary. Niki can be left alone for a few hours at a time and will bark for the first few minutes until she settles down in front of the door waiting for your return.

Here’s what Niki needs:

-an active person (or couple) who love to walk

-to be the only pet in the home

-no children in the home

-a house (no condos or apartments as she can bark)

-easy access to the outdoors preferably with a securely fenced yard

Nikita is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She is 13 years old and weighs 14 lbs. She is an American Eskimo Dog.
