Meet Nikita, a 2 year old Golden Retriever!
She is just about the sweetest little girl you could ever meet. Nikita is still working through whatever trauma she came to us with from her previous life. She is a breeder rescue, so everything about living in a home seems new to her and she can be a little skittish. She has her safe spot in the living room tucked in a corner where she likes to lay and will retreat to if she gets anxious. She likes to sleep on the floor next to our bed at night, again tucked in a corner. She has yet to use the dog beds. We have been taking it slow with her but she is catching on quickly! She has nearly mastered the leash and loves to go for walks. She is fully potty trained with no accidents in the house. She doesn't indicate when she needs to go, we just take her out regularly. She will not use her kennel, in fact, she seems afraid of it.
She will go up and down the two steps at the front door, but she will not go up or down a full flight of stairs yet. She
is learning all about how to be a family dog from her two silly foster brothers. She likes to watch them and follow them around, just observing. She doesn't really play with them yet but seems to enjoy their company. She has a ways to go but it is clear that she is determined to keep trying! She is very affectionate and it comforts her to sit or lay close to her foster mom whenever she can. She loves to be pet and talked to. She has soulful eyes and a calm/gentle demeanor. It seems she would be a great companion for a person or family in an environment that is calm and not too chaotic. She still startles easily but that seems to get better each day. She does not resource guard and does not seem highly food motivated. We have not yet observed her with cats or kids but she's great with adults and other dogs. She is truly a sweet girl and she will blossom in her forever home.
