Nikki is a young German Shepherd with a striking white coat and a spark in her eye that draws you in immediately. When she first arrived, she was very underweight—her ribs and hip bones were showing from not getting enough care. Nikki lost her home because she could clear a 4-foot fence; instead of making the yard secure, her previous owner surrendered her during a tough time at an overcrowded shelter. Since coming into rescue, Nikki has started gaining back both weight and spirit. Though she’s rebuilding her stamina, her loving, goofy nature shines through. She’s warming up to new routines and will blossom with a bit of patience and the right family. Nikki’s not just beautiful—she’s ready for someone to help her put on healthy pounds and truly settle in. Her birthday makes her a Taurus, so you can expect some stubborn determination mixed with a gentle soul. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
