Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ NIKKI’s BIO IN DETAIL TO ENSURE THAT HE WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE BEORE APPLYING. PEASE NOTE: HE IS BEING FOSTERED IN THE OTTAWA, ON AREA

We at All Paws Matter believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. This is now a requirement in our adoption process. Proof of training classes for puppies specifically is required before adoption.

Nikki is a major snuggle bug. Once he connects to you, he will be yours forever. Gone will be the days of being totally alone because he will be right by your side all day if you choose. He just loves to hang out and cuddle up by your side on the couch or anywhere you are.

Nikki gets so excited after a good night sleep that he can’t quite contain himself as he looks forward to the rest of the day. You see, Nikki has lived on the streets for quite some time where we believe some abuse occurred so we can understand why he is so cautious of humans and everyone around him. He is being fostered with other dogs and is fine with them but we feel he would be best as an only dog so he can get all the attention that he deserves. No cats for Nikki as he does like to chase them.

Nikki’s ideal home would be a quiet home, one with one or two people who are willing to gain his trust and be patient with him. He needs time to connect with people. Due to this we recommend no children since their energy may be detrimental for him. If you wish to have people over frequently he is not the dog for you as he really seems to connect with one or two people. A home with a fenced in back yard would be best and no condo/apartment as he needs to do his business frequently and needs time to do it. Nikki is crate trained and can sleep a good 8 hours in there. It is a great safe place for him as well,

If you feel you would be the right fit for Nikki, please fill out an adoption application at https://www.allpawsmatter.ca/apply-to-adopt/

All APM dogs are UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed or neutered, dewormed, Heart worm (4dx snap) tested and arrive with a health certificate. They come to adopter with a harness, a collar and two leashes for safety.

NOTE: The above description is relevant to this dog in its current and previous setting. Home changes and adopter personalities can bring out different behaviours not previously seen. We also do not claim or suggest that our dogs are hypo-allergenic or that they shed/do not shed.

BREED DISCLAIMER: We are never sure of the breed of our dogs since they arrive off the streets or shelters. It is a guess only!
