Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Niko and Kammi have their very own love story....they are so loving and devoted to each other, it is rather touching. These two came all the way from Alabama and were eventually adopted from a shelter together(they are not related.) They lived with that family for the next 7 months, they grew up in that home and sadly were both given up. Perhaps two active pups were a little more than the family bargained for?? But-actually 2 dogs are sooooo much easier to take care of than just one, if you are going to have young active dogs. They will play together and amuse themselves and of course get rid of all that puppy energy--YEA!! They have been outside playing this morning, exploring, romping around the yard with the other foster dogs and now(and helping me garden-ha!). We are all inside now cooling off and they are snoozing happily. Niko and Kammi are truly awesome dogs-they are incredibly well mannered for just a year old. Both came to us totally housebroken, outside of a little counter surfing initially they have been perfect. They are active in spurts through the day and sleep peacefully all night long. Both dogs are very sweet, friendly and social and will do well with an active family, a fenced yard would be best. We are guessing at the breeds, Kammi looks to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Niko could be Shepard, perhaps Cattle dog?? They are each around 45 pounds, a great size. They are both so awesome and will be a great addition to a loving home. Their adoption fee was $325/each, but we have lowered the fee in hopes of finding the perfect home for them, they must go together. The adoption fee for the pair is $550. The adoption fee is tax deductible and they will come with a free month of insurance if you would like as well as food and supplies to get them settled into their new home.
