• “My name is Nikita. I am the Queen of the house. I love making human friends, but dogs scare me. I feel like I have to protect my owners! I love to play and explore and get lots of love. I don’t like being alone , I’m always glued to someone’s hip!“

  — Emily M.

• “Hello I’m Nikita, I’m a 5 year old GSD/lab mix and my favorite thing to do is relax and do as little as I’m required to do. Sometimes I’m to lazy I don’t even want to get up and go potty in the morning, I’m a laid back lady who loves adventures and being with my mom!“

  — Taylor L.

• “Nikita is a Japanese Akita (Akita Inu). He’s a curious and protective dog so I don’t go to dog parks. I don’t have a place for him to run free and am so grateful for services like this.“

  — Scott P.

• “I am 1 year old, Siberian Husky. I am the smallest pup of the family so they always call me the baby. I LOVE all of the dogs I meet and I have friends of many species! Sometimes I am so excited to see another dog I can barely contain myself! Not all of the other dogs like me tho? which is hard for me to understand. I just want to run & dig all day long! I use my paws to communicate to my Hooman cause I’m sooo smart. I’m so lucky to have my siblings to teach and protect me. Sometimes I get afraid to go new places or try new things but they show me what to do! After a long day of playing, I just want to be cuddled and kissed. I love everybody and everything, I am so happy all the time!!! Sometimes my leg doesn’t work as well, but after it gets fixed, I will be faster than ever! Cause of my leg, my mommy gets nervous with me playing with other big dogs. I love the dog park but until I am 100% better I would love a place to play safely.“

• “Hi.my name is Nikita and I am a rescue German Shepard mixed breed from a shelter. I live inside with my new partner and eat very well we are both on a keto-carnivore diet. I kinda am use to being on my own since I was picked up in the streets of Newark last October 2023 and adopted two days before Christmas. I don't listen very well to my partner, but only when he takes me outside to do my duty. I guess you could say because I have been on my own roaming the streets for I don't know how long it's been and eating scraps and whatever I could find to survive. My new partner takes very good care of me and i do my best to listen to him. It's just when we go outside that I kinda forget he is there. But I am getting better as I know an begin to trust him.

• “I’m a bit hyperactive. I love to explore and love everyone, oh and I think I’m my big brother’s protector!“

  — Stacey R.

• “My name is Nikita and I am a 6 year old husky/gsd rescued off the streets after being dumped. I am an extremely happy dog with a lot of emotions I don’t always know where to put. Some people think I am reactive because I get so excited and overwhelmed at times I will sing my little heart out, but mom knows I am just really happy to be outside or see my friends. I am a high energy working dog that never gets tired but well trained in not only basic but some intermediate training commands. I can get along with most dogs when the introduction is proper on neutral ground. I am best paired with a confident passive dog, as I tend to be on the more dominant side. Just looking for a safe fully enclosed yard I can run my heart out with my bestie Bacon because I’m a flight risk in an open field 🥰“

  — Rachel G.

• “Hi! My name is Nikita! I love running and sniffing. I’m selective with my dog friends but love people! I can be a little timid at first when being introduced to a new place. I also can’t see very well because I am blind in one eye other than that I’m just your typical high energy dog 😊“

  — Taylor S.

• “I’m an old (Husky) man who would just want to do my own thing while the crazy Husky/Malmute cross gets to run and run and run and…“
