About Nikita and Goku

Nikita and Goku are two remarkable Akitas seeking loving homes. They are currently at the Hesperia Animal Shelter and are facing a dire situation due to space constraints. Nikita is a lovely 3-year-old female, spunky and sweet. She's fully house-trained and enjoys her time outside, showing great joy during playtime in the yard. Goku, the male, is also around 3 years old and has a heartwarming, affectionate nature. He plays well with toys and walks nicely on a leash, making him an ideal companion. Both dogs display good social tendencies with other dogs. These two are not siblings, but their striking resemblance makes it hard to believe they're not related. They require immediate assistance, as both have a looming deadline next week. Let’s help them find the loving homes they deserve before it’s too late. If interested in adopting, please contact Hesperia Animal Services for more details. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
