Nekoosa's foster told us:
"Meet Nekoosa, a sweet and spirited lady with an adorable powdered sugar nose. She is a loyal companion whose expressive eyes reflect her desire to be with her people. She loves to get cuddles and belly rubs!
Nekoosa's spirit and energy are that of a younger pup. Her playful nature shines through as she loves to engage with toys, eagerly wrestling and running after them. Tail-chasing is another one of her favorite pastimes. Nekoosa is not just adorable but also smart, understanding boundaries and cues well. She is working on her leash manners, and her motivation to learn and please makes her a promising student!
Nekoosa's loving personality has won the hearts of everyone she encounters. Whether playing or relaxing, this sweet pup is sure to bring joy and love to her forever family.
If you are interested in adopting Nekoosa, please send an email to awla.foster.fairlington@gmail.com to arrange an initial meet & greet with the pet's foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.
