Nika

My story

Arriving March 14 - Fostered in Hamilton areaApply to adopt at rebeldogrescue.com*All adoptions with Rebel Dog Rescue have a 15 day probation period. Read about our adoption process on our website. Nika is a fun little white dog with a big personality (and tongue). Nika is still getting used to all the TLC but is warming up to being a little white shadow following you around. Nika is starting to enjoy the behind the ear scratches that maybe she did not receive enough of in her previous life. She enjoys naps but also wakes up with youthful energy ready to be your buddy; she loves her blankie-pillow a lot, especially right out of the drier. She lets you know when she needs to go out to potty (little barks usually mean pee-pee, little grumbles mean #2) and has learned quickly how to go on brief walks on her little pink leash.Nika is a little 'derpy' angel. She has a been a pleasure to foster.Adoption fee: $550Name: NikaBreed: Mixed X Lhasa Apso Age: ~9 years Weight: ~13lbSex: Female, spayedMedical: Received dental and all remaining teeth were removed; mammary masses removed - biopsy benign.

The dog has interacted with a young, energetic, very overly-friendly/pushy corgi and Nika was non-reactive. The corgi was the hyper bully, TBH, and Nika was moved into her kennel for her own peace, and the corgi moved outside to get her energy out.Do you suggest this dog has another dog in the home?She can be happy alone or with another chill dogGood with Cats: Yes, has lived with cat(s) successfully - fostered with a cat Crate training: Enters crate willingly, Settles quickly and quietlyHouse training: Almost perfectly house trained - about 90% thereResource Guarding: None seenWalks on a leash: Walks wellEnergy level: Low-Medium Areas to work on: No notable issuesAny noted separation anxiety?
