Nicki is a young girl who tells us every single day that she was not meant for shelter life.
In her kennel, Nicki can be a little angsty - kind of like the teenage years and that very emotional music playlist you had on repeat. But underneath all that frustration is a girl who is just overwhelmed by her surroundings.
Give Nicki a calm moment, some patience, and a little space to breathe, and something beautiful happens: she melts right into your arms. Could you be the person who shows Nicki that life outside the shelter is everything she's been waiting for?
Nicki needs an adopter who understands that the girl you see in a stressful shelter environment may not be the girl you'll see once she feels safe. She needs someone calm and patient who will give her the time she deserves to decompress, build trust, and bloom into the loving, sweet girl we know is underneath the kennel stress.
She isn't giving you attitude because she doesn't care. She's just struggling with where she is right now.
