Nikki

My story

Meet Nikki, listed as a Retriever/Lab, American Pitbull mix came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 4/26. She is 3 yrs old and weighs 54 pounds. She has a low-key chill personality and is very alert and aware of her surroundings. She’s a real beauty and has a regal bearing about her! Nikki knows the sit command and will do so for treats taking them politely. She also is quite skilled at catching them in her mouth from a sitting position! She is friendly and is A-OK with being petted and loved on. She’s still a bit nervous and timid. However, I am confident with continued interaction and socialization, she will relax and feel more comfortable. Nikki is well behaved and has a calm and gentle personality. She was not interested in the toys or balls I offered her. Instead, she gravitated to the bed with a soft blanket that she relaxed on and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the quiet relaxed atmosphere of the room. She walks beautifully on a leash. Can you find it in your heart to assist this girl out of the shelter life and into a home in which she will receive plenty of TLC and an inside life with her people?
