Arrival story: Nikita was a stray picked up by a rural shelter. Her time was up at the shelter because the it was full, so Waggin Tails took her in.

Personality: Nikita is a very sweet dog who loves attention. She will nudge you to let you know she would like her ears scratched and to get some kisses. She has a calm, mellow personality. She was very shy and timid when she first came to Waggin' Tails, however, she has overcome her shyness and approaches people to get some affection. Nikita still gets a little shy and nervous in new environments so her new family will need to be patient with her while she adjusts.

Forever home: Nikita would do best in a physically fenced yard due to the fact that she was a stray and is also nervous and shy in new situations. She could get scared easily and run off, so a physical fence is preferred. NO INVISIBLE FENCE. Nikita loves to play and will need exercise to keep her busy and happy. She will need a patient family who is willing to work with her shyness and help her personality shine through!

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $225 for adult dogs. Different adoption fees apply for older dogs, small breeds and puppies - $125 for senior dogs (9 years +) , $275 for small breed dogs and $250 for puppies, plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter. Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.

Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue does not have a shelter facility. All of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar on our website at www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted. This application does not imply an obligation to adopt by the applicant or by the rescue group.

Our volunteers have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries are the quickest way to obtain information about a dog.

Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
