Nikko

Meet Nikko! The intelligent, curious, snuggly, adventurous and super shy girl looking for her forever home. We've learned that she would LOVE: - A kind and loving pack of pups to explore and play with. She loves playing with little doggos and joins in the big dog fun when she sees several pups at play! At least one other pup in the home is needed for building this girl's confidence. - Wooded acreage where she can adventure, explore and take potty breaks under the cover and safe haven of trees ('wide open spaces are scary - who invented suburbia anyway?' is a direct quote from Nikko) - On leash, she sticks right by her human. Look at this video: https://youtu.be/q00RQiSFLLQ - Preferably no permanent kiddos but visits are just fine :) - she's not aggressive in the slightest but does find kiddos scary. This dog is an absolute dreamboat once you get to know her - a process that due to her shyness, takes time. Other dogs bring her out of her shell and once she loves you, she's oh so snuggly and she'll be deeply yours for a lifetime. She is the sweetest, mellowest pup looking for an owner with a kind and patient heart.
