Nikita Dutch Shepherd Mix San Diego, CA

SCGSR received a plea to help a 12 week old purebred Dutch Shepherd puppy, who was dumped at the shelter. Obviously, after just a short time in his home, baby Nikita wore out his welcome. Somebody paid a pretty penny for Nikita without doing their research, thinking that dogs who are smart enough to be trained as police dogs must be pretty cool to have as a low maintenance accessory. This is why a lot of dogs who are bred to work and purchased because of their looks or macho reputation lose their homes early in life.

Nikita is absolutely precious. Typical of his breed, he is high energy, high drive, happy, and has an active and intelligent mind. Nikita wants to be with and please his people. His coloring is a stunning brindle, with beautiful alert eyes. Luckily our volunteer Hollie was available to rush to the shelter to save little Nikita. Now SCGSR will help find him a home who will appreciate his breeding and personality!

If you have applied with us for a working dog and are still looking, Nikita will fit your bill perfectly. Please contact Marcy for more information.
