Story

Nikki and Koda ended up in a shelter in SoCal after their owner passed away. They had lived on a piece of land in Temecula with other dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, pigs ducks and goats. Nikki had been with her owner since she was a puppy and was described as the mama dog on the property and the animals would all go to her. She even raised a goat as her own! Nikki knows her basic commands and has the sweetest disposition. She loves to snuggle into pillows and blankets for a comfy nap. Nikki is an easy-going girl who craves human affection and has been described as “loving baby animals.” Nikki's son, Koda, is half lab, half malamute who was born on the family ranch. Koda walks nicely on leash and knows his basic commands. He is a sweet boy who spent his days on the ranch outside, taking naps and observing the resident animals on the property. Koda absolutely loves human attention, flashing his charming grin and offering a paw in exchange for affection. These two bonded sweeties are looking for their forever home together!
