About Nicki

Meet Nicki, an 18-month-old sweetheart overflowing with charm and a spirit as strong as they come! Nicki was born with cerebellar hypoplasia, a condition affecting her motor development. It's not contagious or degenerative, and while she has some vision impairment and a bit of a wobble, she navigates wonderfully once she settles into a home. Her wobbly legs are just part of what makes her unique! Nicki is a quick learner, mastering potty training and the doggie door. She's also a social butterfly who gets along great with both dogs and cats, and she'd thrive in an active home that can keep up with her lively energy. Nicki's zest for life is truly boundless; she might be a bit clumsy, but nothing slows her down! You won't just be adopting a dog; you'll be gaining your most steadfast and loving best friend. Nicki's resilience is an everyday inspiration, and her wonderful wobbles make her an extraordinary treasure.
