She’s incredibly smart and learns routines quickly. She has already mastered:<br/>• Sit and stay with good self-control<br/>• “Leave it” and “Back off”<br/>• Waiting for humans to go through doors first<br/>• She does not resource guard and handles hands in her dish without issue<br/><br/>Nikita gets along very well with the resident dog in her foster home; they have never fought, and she shows no dog reactivity on walks. She’s also losing weight with healthy routines such as regular walks.<br/><br/>What Nikita Is Working On<br/>Nikita is thriving, but she will need an adopter who can continue the great progress she’s made:<br/>1. Stranger Fear: She can be wary of new people but has already made encouraging progress. Managed introductions will help her continue to build confidence.<br/>2. Separation Anxiety: Nikita feels most secure when she’s with a person or another dog. When left completely alone, she may become anxious and can be destructive. She does wonderfully with another dog present, so a canine companion would be a great fit for her.<br/><br/>She also has a bit of a “bossy big sister” streak—if allowed, she may try to bully more timid dogs. Clear boundaries help her stay polite and respectful.<br/>When she’s anxious, she may pant or drool, but she settles well with support, structure, and company.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/>Nikita would thrive in a home that offers:<br/>• Another confident dog to keep her company<br/>• Humans who are home often and can continue working on her separation anxiety<br/>• A patient, consistent environment to help her grow socially<br/><br/>She is not allowed on furniture in foster and respects those boundaries well.<br/><br/>Why You’ll Love Nikita<br/>Nikita is a wonderful mix of affectionate, teachable, and loyal. She’s already come so far, and with the right home, she’s going to flourish into an extraordinary companion. If you’re looking for a dog who is eager to bond and ready to bloom with you, Nikita may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history.
