Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nix is a lover of all!, and I call him our Tigger, as he is a wonderful thing who is bouncey, trouncey, ouncey, pouncey, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun! He is a 9/10 month old doodle/heeler and he has the energy of one! He will need a family that has older children (he jumps with enthusiasm) and has time to recreate outside, whether it is trail running or having a lot of property on which he can run. He is a sweet boy who only wants love and affection. He is smart and is learning obedience daily He can place, sit and wait, walks well, and listens amazingly well!) with the foster family. He goes for walks and likes to sit with his foster mom while she works. He is house-trained and crate-trained, neutered and microchipped.
He likes to play and play and play - with other dogs or with his family. He is super friendly and loving and wants a place where he can run. He is also a jumper, so a six-foot fence is a necessity, as he gets over most five-footers. He comes right back, but is still learning what that fence is there for! He does have a prey drive, so chickens or rabbits or cats are probably out. He chases the house rabbit in play, but she has good places to escape. He plays very well with the Great Dane in the house and just adores all people. He has that friendly joyful doodle temperament with a whole lot of energy wrapped up in a beautiful package!

Our goal is to rescue stray, abandoned, injured or abused dogs on the Pine Ridge Reservation with the help of Lakota youth and adults working on sobriety...and to find these dogs forever homes. Our adoption fees help us continue to do this and to provide community outreach to Tribal members in the form of dog food, vaccines and spay/neuter.
