Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nicki had been living tied up on a 3 ft rope for over 6 months when we were contacted about her. The week prior to her coming into rescue her owner had abandoned her with no food or water. Fortunately this was a time when there was a lot of rain, or she may not have survived. We were sent a video of a stranger giving her tortilla’s, we knew right then we had to help her. Her body language towards this stranger, was a testament to what a sweet girl she was. Nicki has now been with one of our fosters since March 1st but this was only supposed to be a temporary situation and we are hoping to find someone else in the San Diego area that can continue fostering or ultimately willing to adopt her. Nicki is very approachable and bonds very quickly. However, once she settles in to her new environment she will start getting protective, she is a guardian breed and this is to be expected. In Nicki’s previous life her owner took her to dog parks and all around town with him. However, a puppy presa is very different than an adult presa and we would never advocate for this. We have seen her be reactive on a leash when another dog barks at her aggressively but she is easy to redirect and is good about focusing on her handler. She’s also shown a desire to play when observing other playful dogs. She did have a meet n greet with a couple of senior dogs and was so sweet and gentle around them. She has loved all children she’s met since being in our care.
