DOGS_NAME_HERE Nikko's Story...
Nikko is a typical Eskie, very high-energy and he is very smart. He knows the basic commands and is house-trained, with the exception that you have to go outside with him before bedtime or he won't go out and that's the only time he will pee in the house by the door. It's almost like he is afraid of the dark or afraid that I won't allow him to come back inside. The best living situation for him is a couple where one person is home most of the day. He needs a lot of attention and exercise and should be adopted to someone who is Eskie-savvy. I don't trust him around children or swimming pools. In general, American Eskimos aren't the best dogs for a home with children. He loves to play Frisbee and tug-of-war with his squeaky toys. The shelter said he was five, but we all think he is about two years old. Dr. Laugherty, from Oakley Vet, neutered him and gave him his vaccines and she thinks he's much younger than five, too. He weighs 28lbs, which some people say is too big for Eskies. Nikko is very sweet, but nervous around strangers at first. It takes him about 15-30 minutes to casually be around someone and then he warms up and will want to sit on their lap. He barks at strangers and also when he hears a car drive in to the driveway or the doorbell ring. He is very healthy and in great shape. SECURE FENCING REQUIRED FOR ALL OF OUR RESCUED DOGS. For more information email pamperedpets4u@comcast.net or call (925) 628-3824. If you are considering adopting a dog through HALO Here are some helpful hints: Bring pictures of your yard to show secure fencing. Most of our dogs require a 6 foot fenced yard. Yards must be cleared of any fox tail weeds. We do adopt small dogs to apartments or condo and need to see pictures of the patio or balcony area. If you rent, please bring copy of your lease to show you can have pets and any size restrictions. We do not adopt to homes with children under the age of five unless we know the history of the dog with young children. All Children MUST be present at adoption. If you own a dog and are looking for a friend please bring your dog with you so they can be introduced. Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state. Other Pictures of Nikko of CA (click to see larger version):
