About Nyx

Nyx is a resilient soul who emerged from a challenging hoarding situation involving nearly 100 dogs. As one of the first to be aided by PACC’s Animal Restoration Kennel (ARK), she now seeks a loving home to call her own. Each dog from this case has a unique story; some are brave, while others, like Nyx, may need a little extra TLC to build their confidence. During a recent visit, Nyx was initially hesitant, but she soon came around. She leaned against me for support and enjoyed affection as soon as I stopped petting her. This gentle female is large in size and would thrive in an environment with another confident dog to guide her. She's ready to start her journey toward a happy life. Don’t miss the chance to meet Nyx and see the love she has to offer!
