Nikki's Story

Here's a sweet, warm, adoptable-style bio for Nikki, written from her perspective with personality and heart:<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>🌟 **Hi there... I'm Nikki!** I'm an **8-month-old tricolor shepherd mix**, mostly black with stunning tan and white highlights that make me look extra fancy. But my favorite feature? My adorable **sideways smile**! Yep -- I was born with a little birth defect that gives me a unique grin and a one-of-a-kind dental pattern. Don't worry -- it doesn't cause me any trouble. It just makes me *Nikki*, the girl with the unforgettable smile. 😊<br/><br/>I didn't get the best socialization when I was a tiny pup, so I can be a little shy when I first meet new people. But give me a little time, a gentle voice, and maybe a yummy snack or two... and suddenly I'm melting right into you. 🍪💛<br/><br/>Once I warm up, I'm a total **cuddle bug** who loves soft pets, warm laps, and feeling safe with my person. I'm a sensitive, sweet soul who just needs patience, kindness, and love -- and in return, I promise I'll be the most loyal little companion you could ask for.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a gentle, tender-hearted pup who just wants to belong, I think we might be perfect for each other. Come meet me and my sideways smile -- I can't wait to find the human who will love me just the way I am. 🐾💗<br/>****************<br/>All animals at HSO are current on their vaccinations and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. If not already spayed/neutered, there may be a short delay between when you select this pet and when they are ready to go home.<br/><br/>Breed and age are determined based on observable physical traits. Actual lineage and birth date are rarely known.<br/><br/>Adoption Fees:<br/>-$60 for cats<br/>-$60 for dogs over 6 years<br/>-$80 for dogs 6 months old to 6 years<br/>-$100 for puppies up to 6 months<br/><br/>Come visit our pets Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-2pm.
