Nicky's Story

I discovered Nicky at a very badly run private shelter, in dreadful condition. She was emaciated, only weighing 20 lbs - Also struggling from a high fever. She had been locked in a tiny metal cage with 2 other dogs, never being fed enough food. Nicky was on the brink of death, without our help she would have been gone. With some TLC she is now back in perfect health, has gained 11 lbs and is ready for adoption! Nicky is so sweet, has a beautiful, gentle soul and will bring joy to her lucky adopter!

Get to Know Nicky

Nicky is shy and timid at first, especially around strangers. After a few hours, she will start warming up and begin to reveal her super affectionate, playful and loyal personality. Every day, Nicky has been showing progress and winning our hearts. We are dearly in love with her gentle and quiet nature, her spunky and happy personality! She loves to play chase with me in the house and fetch with plush toys. Her eyes sparkle like a puppy. She makes funny noises that will make you laugh. When she wants cuddles, she makes it known in the sweetest ways. You will not find a more loving and trusting companion, she could cuddle and kiss all day!
