My story

Welcome to Camp Cocker Rescue, Nikki! Nikki is being FOSTERED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA >> FOR CURRENT STATUS, UPDATES, PHOTOS & VIDEOS, please visit Nikki's website at www.CampCocker.com/nikki and on Facebook & Instagram. #CampCockerNikki > APPLY TO ADOPT Nikki at Camp Cocker Rescue: www.campcocker.com/nikki Nikki is a cutie-pie female Cocker Spaniel rescued from the Riverside County Shelter. She’s estimated* to be 2-3 years old and weighs 22 pounds. Nikki is an energetic dog-friendly girl. She has some “stranger danger” to be mindful of, so new acquaintances must take their time when meeting her to earn her trust. She should not be in a home with young children. NIKKI'S FOSTER MOM TELLS US: - Nikki is the sweetest once you’ve earned her trust - and that may take a little time! Due to her “stranger danger,” it’s best to meet her outside, where she can sniff and investigate you first. She does better when people have treats—though they need to be high-value treats! - Her adopters will need to be ever-vigilant when meeting & interacting with people (children & adults) always keeping an eye on her body language. - Once she trusts you, Nikki will let you clean her paws, trim her hair, and more. She can get a bit playful & rambunctious, and sometimes “mouthy,” during playtime. Nikki loves to shake her toys, have you throw them, and then playfully tease you to chase her and steal the toy back. She is very friendly with other dogs, but she doesn’t always respect their personal space. - Nikki knows basic commands like “sit” and “give paw” and is working on “down.” She’s potty trained and will bark to let you know when she needs to go outside. She hasn’t exhibited separation anxiety and is crate-trained. - However, if she’s off-leash in the yard, it may take some time to catch her because she enjoys being chased. Nikki should never visit dog parks, as she might accidentally escape through the gate if other dogs are entering or exiting. We’re currently working on recall in hopes that learn to return when called, but she’s currently an escape risk! - With patience, continued training, high-value treats, and love, Nikki will make a fun, loyal, and loving companion! *Please note that any age provided is only an estimate, based on veterinary examination. > APPLY TO ADOPT Nikki at www.campcocker.com/nikki Nikki is being FOSTERED IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA SEE OTHER AVAILABLE DOGS at www.campcocker.com/available-dogs THANK YOU FOR GIVING RESCUE & SHELTER DOGS A CHANCE!
