Do you LOVE LOVE older puppies??? Nikko is from a Texas litter of pups abandoned with mom by their owners. She’s spent all of her 10 months of life in a wonderful foster home, primarily living outside.
She is super sweet, loving, curious, playful and shy. She is the mellowest lady, recently transported up from Texas and still decompressing in her New England foster home.
Nikko is full of so much love, intelligence and curiosity.
She is not a jumper and loves her crate....it is her cozy safe place.
Despite her nook-loving life at the moment, Nikko is an adventurous soul and quick to figure out how things work and is very observant about her surroundings.
On leash, she sticks right by her human. Look at this video: https://youtu.be/q00RQiSFLLQ
She loves other dogs and needs another friendly canine sibling to play with and continue to bring her out of her shell.
Nikko loves snuggles!! And if you want a dog that can learn tricks, she's your girl!! So smart!!
Her perfect home would be one that is willing to continue training and easing her into the wonders of home living. She is still learning some housetraining but foster feels she will pick it up quickly.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
