Adopt a Miniature Pinscher / Mixed (short coat)

Name: Nikki

DOB: 4 years (estimated)

Weight: 12 pounds

Adoption Fee: $300

Nikki is a very active, energetic and ever so curious little girl.  She takes her job of protecting her family from those furry little critters (aka squirrels) very seriously!  This cold weather doesn't slow her down one bit either! In fact she resembles another furry critter (the rabbit) while playing outdoors and trying to find the perfect place to relieve herself - it really is quite comical to watch her.  One of her favorite past times is playing with squeaker toys, not only does she love the sound they make, she loves to just carry them around and have them near her.  When all the fun and games are done, she really enjoys chillin' on the couch with her family and she loves to cuddle!  Give her a spot on your bed and she will sleep through night without a peep.

True to her breed, Nikki does exhibit some dominance so either being an only dog or with a dog that isn't as stubborn as her would be best.  She hasn't been around cats yet, that we are aware of, but with her prey drive caution is advised.  A fenced in yard to keep her and the critters safe is required, and should be at least 4 feet tall. She may only be 12 pounds, but she can easily jump a 3 foot fence and it's nearly impossible to redirect her once she is focused on something. Nikki is very attentive and will bark when she sees something interesting or hears a noise that she needs to find the source of, so likely not a good apartment or shared housing girl.

Nikki truly is a fun little girl that would bring some entertainment to your home.  If she sounds like a good fit for you, please consider meeting her!
