Adoption information
About Nikki
Introducing Nikki, a scruffy and sweet little girl who has a real zest for life and who is looking for a loving and somewhat active family to welcome her into their home. Although she may be timid when she first meets new people, Nikki loves attention from those she trusts; she soon reveals that she is an affectionate and loyal little dog to her people and a great playmate for another dog. Nikki is the one who initiates play and her ideal home would be one where there is another active small dog who will engage with her in play.
Miss Nikki weighs less than 4 kilograms and is estimated to be one year old so she is fully grown. She still has the inquisitive nature and energy of a puppy but none of the potential naughty antics. She is toilet trained and comes when called. Nikki has a lovely soft, scruffy black coat, tan fur on her feet and mouth and a splash of white fur on her chest. This girl loves mealtime and eats a variety of food. Miss N is currently fostered with 3 other dogs, male and female, and gets along well with all of them, especially a foster sibling Dachshund who is a similar age and size; they play until they drop.
Nikki loves going for walks, will fetch a ball and do zoomies with it in her mouth. Although she loves exploring the garden, Nikki is predominantly an inside girl and not one to be left alone in the yard for long periods; she needs to be included in family life as she loves pleasing her people and playing with another dog. In summary, this little girl will be an extremely affectionate, loyal and a marvellous little pet to a family who invests a little time gaining her trust and ensuring she is able to burn off some of her energy.
To ensure a reply to enquiries about possible adoption, please tell us a little about yourself, your location and provide contact details. Ideally, let us know what you can offer this special little lass. Your enquiries will be then passed onto Nikki’s foster carer who will reach out to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.
