About Nikita

Nikita is an 8-year-old German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! She’s a smart girl who can sit with her front legs curled like a cat, and she has a unique habit of burying her toys in her water bowl. Nikita loves her food and has food allergies, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying every last bite. She could walk for miles and always loves to carry her favorite toy with her.

Ideal Home

Nikita needs an active home that can keep up with her boundless energy – she needs more exercise than a bodybuilder! She is not a fan of feline friends, so a cat-free home is a must. A very important aspect of her life is that she must always have something in her mouth, so be prepared to provide her with plenty of appropriate chew toys.

Ongoing Health

Nikita has food allergies, so her new family will need to be mindful of her diet and any potential allergens.

Training & Support

Nikita is house-trained and knows basic commands. Her primary need for support will be ensuring she has an outlet for her high energy levels and consistent management of her food allergies.
