Nix is getting her first taste of home life, and she's making quiet, steady progress every day.

Nix is an easy roommate in many ways:

Quietshe doesn't bark.
Crate trained and absolutely loves her crate (she'll even hop right into it for car rides).
Walks nicely on a leash.
Great with cats, she ignores them and doesn't chase.
Coexists beautifully with other dogs.
Very food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding.
