About Neka

Neka is a sweet, loving dog who just celebrated her one-year anniversary at the rescue. Although some might view her as intimidating due to her size, she is actually a big softie who craves affection. Neka is friendly with dogs and we believe she would thrive in a home with children over the age of 12. She enjoys long walks and playful time in the kiddie pool, often sticking close to those she trusts. Neka displays some food aggression, so she needs to be crated or kept separate during mealtime. However, she has been making progress with this behavior and is ready to continue improving in a loving home. This lovely pup is eager to find a family to call her own. Your new best friend is just one click away.
