Hello everybody!
My name is Nikki and I’m an adorable Bichon girl about 4 years old and I weigh about 17 pounds. I am as precious as I am lovable! Mom says I love big people and small people, and love to be a part of whatever you do! In fact, Mom says I’m one of the cutest dogs she has ever met. I exude cuteness; I epitomize cuteness and I am (drum roll please) amazingly cute!
I have big brown eyes (that smile) and a great personality to match. I dance on my hind legs to show my joy. There is no doubt that I’m a feminine and happy little girl with a great big heart! And did I mention I’m a cuddler and a lover, adoring and affectionate – and, guess what? I’m looking for my forever home.
Want to sit and watchTV? Or read a book? That would be my pleasure! Love to go for a walk? I’m happy to explore the neighborhood with you and enjoy all the sights and smells. How about a ride in the car? I’ll sit nicely and enjoy the scenery.
I’m happiest when there are people around to love! Mom says I’m the best companion you could ever ask for and am always happy as long as I can be close to my people.
Also, not to brag, but Dad says that I’m a pretty smart little girl who easily adapted to life at our house. I’ve learned house training (and mastered the doggy door) and am working on commands.
There is no doubt that I’m a feminine and happy little girl with a great big heart! Mom says that I’m an adorable and sweet pup — with so much love to give! If my whole day could be spent playing and then snuggling, and then playing and then snuggling, I would be the happiest FurKid on earth. How does that sound to you? If it sounds good, please complete our application and ask for Nikki?
Tail wags and doggie kisses,
Notably Nice Nikki


Everyone who sees me says I’m just as cute as I can be! I’m the most vocal of my siblings. I like to have them around as they help me to feel more confident.
There are three of us (two boys and 1 girl) and we are adorable and adoptable! Our Mom is a terri-chi and Dad was a poodle mix so you could say we are mixed with cuteness. Please be sure to complete an adoption application – so we can get to know one another. You can meet me now — and I can go home with you in early October. In the meantime I will continue to learn as much as I can and get ready for my forever home.



My foster Mom says I love to PLAY! Toys are my favorites – but please make them ‘big boy toys’, as I get very ambitious when it comes to playing. I ‘kind of’ understand the concept of Fetch but am still working on the bringing the ball back part. (On the other hand Dad is really good at that part!)
Dad wants you to also know that I’m smart and have mastered a number of commands (and can learn more!) I know to come when I’m called, I know “Down”, “Good Boy” and “No”. Since I’m still a puppy and a bit mouthy I also know the command “No Bite” (but I haven’t bitten anyone, honest!)

Another thing that makes me extra special is my ability to adapt. You see I’m very social and like everyone I meet. Mom said I’m a kind of social butterfly (but I’m really not a butterfly, silly Mom!) Whether it’s meeting new people on our walks and trips to the store or when friends come over (they are called company) I love being with people. You see they talk to me or pet me then I look into their eyes and presto! it’s love.
I am also a snuggler. I like to snuggle with people – and that there is nothing I would rather do that curl up in your lap and rest my head on your shoulder. Mom says that makes me irresistible. I’m also compassionate. Why when my doggy foster brother was injured I would lie down in the bed and comfort him so he would feel better.
Mom says I also know how to do a lot of ‘useful’ things. For example, I know some commands, walk beautifully on a leash and mastered the doggy door the first day! How’s that for smart? (And how happy that makes mom too! She says I’m such a good girl.)

Did I mention that I LOVE to go for walks (even though I’m little I can walk for a mile and enjoy it!) and I LOVE to go for rides!? Dad says that people approach me because I’m so friendly, cute and calm! And because I’m so little (about nine pounds) you can take me anywhere!
Dad says you may have heard about my story and that I’m somewhat famous. You see, I had these ginormous bladder stones that had to be removed. They weighed more than one pound and that’s really a lot! Well I had that surgery and am happy to say I feel great now! And there is no doubt that I was a trooper through it all! The only needs I have now are to be loved and to spend lots of time with my humans.

Mom says that I’m equal parts sweet and shy, a darling little guy who just wants to be around you- in your lap, by your side, next to you in bed, on a car ride. As long as I’m with you, I’m fine. Did I mention that I LOVE the carwash – and drive-thrus? When you’re actually driving, I’m pretty calm and love to look out the closed window. At the drive-thru I sometimes growl at the men inside but listen to Mom and am obedient.
